Bengals' Key Players Tee Higgins and Orlando Brown Jr. Doubtful Against Raiders

Cincinnati faces potential setbacks with star wide receiver and offensive tackle likely sidelined for crucial matchup.

Tee Higgins is dealing with a quadricep injury and may miss his second consecutive game, impacting the Bengals' offensive strategy.
Orlando Brown Jr. is doubtful due to a knee injury, which could leave a significant gap in the Bengals' offensive line.
Both players missed practice all week, raising concerns about their availability for the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Rookie Jermaine Burton is expected to see increased playing time in Higgins' absence, as he continues to integrate into the Bengals' offensive scheme.
The Bengals, currently at a 3-5 record, view this game as a must-win to keep their playoff hopes alive, with Joe Burrow emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
