Overview

  • Ja’Marr Chase suffered a concussion on Oct. 4 and entered the NFL concussion protocol while Tee Higgins left the same game with groin and neck issues.
  • Both receivers progressed through the week and were listed as full participants on Friday despite remaining officially questionable on the final injury report.
  • The Bengals elevated safety Russ Yeast from the practice squad and did not promote a receiver, a roster move reporters read as a signal both Chase and Higgins would be available.
  • Multiple NFL and local reporters, including Adam Schefter and video from CBS Miami, confirmed on Sunday morning that Chase and Higgins would be active for the Week 5 game.
  • Fantasy managers should watch the official concussion clearance and the 11:30 a.m. ET inactive list before finalizing lineups while Dohnte Meyers remains the primary short‑term replacement option if either starter is ruled out.
