Two of the highest weapons within the Cincinnati Bengals’ passing recreation appeared on the group’s damage report on Wednesday.
Ja’Marr Chase didn’t take part in follow, whereas Tee Higgins’ was listed as a restricted participant. Chase was stored out because of a again damage, and Higgins has a hamstring concern he’s coping with. The accidents to bot gamers are one thing to watch shifting ahead, and their taking part in standing for Sunday’s contest ought to be identified later within the week.
It is a scenario that the Bengals must deal with very rigorously. Though they’re favored by a landing in opposition to the visiting Texans, Houston is just not a pushover by any means. The Texans have received 4 of their earlier six video games, with this previous Sunday’s outing that includes a record-setting efficiency from C.J. Stroud. The high-scoring means of Houston’s passing assault places extra stress on Cincinnati to maintain up if crucial.
The troublesome resolution comes later within the week ought to both participant be a game-time resolution. Cincinnati is an efficient sufficient group that they need to be capable of beat the Texans down one among Chase or Higgins. Doing so with out each is feasible however a lot much less possible. With that being stated, the Bengals have to maintain the remainder of their season in thoughts. Cincinnati faces the Ravens, Steelers, and Jaguars following their matchup with Houston. Dashing both participant again prematurely if they aren’t absolutely able to go is a danger they can’t take. Primarily, the Bengals have to maintain the large image in thoughts fairly than specializing in a single recreation.
