In a twist for the high‑scoring Bengals, both star receivers are sidelined—Ja’Marr Chase was diagnosed with a concussion and Tee Higgins is listed day‑to‑day with an adductor injury. The pair missed the loss to the Jaguars and now sit out the upcoming matchup with the Dolphins, stripping the offense of its primary deep threats.
Coaches must reshuffle the passing game while awaiting medical clearance and the Bengals' playoff hopes are now more uncertain. Baltimore Ravens’ AFC North roundup flagged the injuries, WLWT confirmed Chase’s concussion, ESPN reported Higgins’ status, and Cincy Jungle posted a consolidated update.
The next report to watch will reveal whether either player clears before kickoff, a factor that could reshape the Bengals’ game plan against Miami.
