Overview
- On Friday both receivers practiced in some capacity and the team officially listed Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins as questionable for Sunday’s game in Miami.
- Chase remains in the league’s concussion protocol and needs step-by-step medical clearance from independent doctors to be cleared to play.
- Higgins is dealing with an adductor (groin) injury that sidelined him for multiple practices and has made him the more doubtful of the two to suit up.
- Rookie Colbie Young plus Dohnte Meyers and Mitchell Tinsley are set to see bigger roles if one or both starters are ruled out.
- Cincinnati is 2-2 and facing the Dolphins before a Week 6 bye, so final medical checks on Saturday and the game-day inactive list will determine short-term game planning and snap distribution.
