Bengals' Chase, Higgins uncertain for Week 5 game against Dolphins
Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals face a critical Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, who currently hold a 0-4 record. Ja'Marr Chase is still in concussion protocol following a recent loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Tee Higgins is limited due to an adductor injury. Both players have over 200 receiving yards this season and are key targets for quarterback Joe Burrow. If they cannot play, other receivers like Mitch Tinsley and Dohnte Meyers may need to step up, as the Bengals look to improve on their 2-2 record in a passing-driven offense. The game is set for Sunday.
