Bengals' Tee Higgins to Miss Game Against Texans, Ja'Marr Chase Questionable Due to Back Injury

Higgins' hamstring injury and Chase's back injury could impact Bengals' offensive strategy, with Trenton Irwin and Tyler Boyd expected to step up in their absence.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins will not play in the upcoming game against the Houston Texans due to a hamstring injury he suffered during a practice session.
Ja'Marr Chase, another wide receiver for the Bengals, is listed as questionable for the game against the Texans due to a back injury he sustained in the Week 9 victory against the Buffalo Bills.
In the absence of Higgins and potentially Chase, Trenton Irwin and Tyler Boyd are expected to take on larger roles in the Bengals' offensive strategy.
The Bengals are currently on a winning streak, having won their last four games. Their receivers have led the NFL in receiving yards per game since Week 5.
The Bengals' tight end trio of Irv Smith Jr., Drew Sample, and Tanner Hudson are also expected to play a significant part in the offense, following their combined 10 receptions for 101 yards and two touchdowns in the last game against Buffalo.
