Bengal's Receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins Could Miss Sunday's Game Against the Patriots
Injuries Pile Up for Bengals, Affecting Wide Receiver Position
The Cincinnati Bengals may be without two of their top wide receivers, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, when they face the New England Patriots on Sunday. Chase is dealing with a hip injury, while Higgins is nursing an ankle injury. Both players were limited in practice this week.
Chase and Higgins Key Contributors to Bengals Offense
Chase and Higgins are two of the most important players in the Bengals' offense. Chase led the team in receiving yards and touchdowns last season, while Higgins was third in receiving yards. Both players have been productive this season as well, with Chase ranking second on the team in receiving yards and Higgins ranking third.
Bengals' Passing Attack Could Struggle Without Chase and Higgins
If Chase and Higgins are unable to play on Sunday, the Bengals' passing attack could struggle. Quarterback Joe Burrow would be without his two favorite targets, and the Patriots' defense would be able to focus on stopping the running game. The Bengals would likely need to rely more on tight end Hayden Hurst and wide receiver Tyler Boyd in the passing game.
Bengals Hope to Have Chase and Higgins Back Soon
The Bengals are hopeful that Chase and Higgins will be able to return to the lineup soon. Chase is considered day-to-day, while Higgins is considered week-to-week. The Bengals will need both players healthy if they want to make a deep playoff run.
