The Cincinnati Bengals will have both wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at their disposal against the Miami Dolphins.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Chase and Higgins will play in Miami.
Chase has managed to pass the concussion protocol. He suffered a concussion last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Higgins suffered a groin strain later in the loss to the Jags and was also listed on the injury report this week with a neck injury. Both players were full participants in Friday’s practice.
Bengals Week 5 inactives vs. Jaguars
- S Kyle Dugger
- TE Jack Endries
- OT Myles Hinton
- C Connor Lew
- DT Landon Robinson
- WR Colbie Young
Dugger was the only player declared out on Friday’s injury report. He hasn’t practiced since suffering his knee injury in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Russ Yeast was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday to help out with depth at the position.
Young was questionable with a knee injury and will miss his second-straight game. Dohnte Meyers and Mitch Tinsley will once again backup Chase and Higgins.
Edries, Hinton, Lew, and Robinson are all healthy scratches.
Safety Bryan Cook, who was questionable with an ankle injury, is playing. He missed last week’s game. The same for backup linebacker Swayze Bozeman, who dealt with a groin injury.
