Overview
- 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.
