Competitors in the most recent Super Bowl, the Cincinnati Bengals have their hands full today. They are currently going head to head with the prolific offense of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Bengals currently have the fourth-best passing offense in the league, which is evidenced by their average of 270.8 passing yards per game.

They had been without star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase for the past for weeks due to an injury. He made his return against the Chiefs, but the Bengals quickly lost another key cog to the offense in the first half against the Chiefs.

Hayden Hurst suffered a right calf injury early in the game and was quickly ruled out after.

Mitchell Wilcox is listed as the second tight end on their depth chart, followed by Devin Asiasi. Both have had limited playing time in their careers (combining for a total of 20 targets), and it will be up to them to step in and fill the void left in Hursts' absence.
