Bengals players Ja'Marr Chase Tee Higgins and Shemar Stewart resume practice

Cincinnati Bengals players Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Shemar Stewart returned to practice on Monday. All three athletes participated in normal work during the first session of the week ahead of the season opener. Head coach Zac Taylor noted that he was encouraged by their progress but specified that formal injury reports are scheduled for release on Wednesday. Chase and Higgins had been dealing with minor concerns that limited their recent practice participation. Stewart, who previously faced a potential long-term injury, has cleared a path for his return without requiring a trip to injured reserve. The team expects all three players to be available as they move into full preparations for their upcoming Week 1 game.
