Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both active for Sunday vs. Dolphins
Cincinnati's star wide receiver duo will play Miami after both were listed as questionable on the final injury report
Posted
The Cincinnati Bengals will have their full complement of wide receivers for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, as both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were cleared to play after entering the weekend with questionable designations.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, both listed as questionable for today, both will play against the Dolphins.
Chase had been dealing with a shoulder issue that limited him in practice this week, while Higgins was listed with a groin injury. Their availability was a major subplot for a Bengals passing game that ranks among the league's most explosive. Chase leads Cincinnati with 426 receiving yards and four touchdowns through four games, while Higgins has added 312 yards and two scores.
The Bengals enter Week 5 at 2-2 in a critical stretch for their playoff positioning. Getting both Chase and Higgins on the field keeps quarterback Joe Burrow at full strength against a Miami secondary that has shown vulnerability downfield this season. The Dolphins have surrendered eight passing plays of 25-plus yards through four games.
Kickoff from Paycor Stadium is set for 1:00 p.m. ET.
