Bengals rookies could play in Week 5 despite injury concerns
Summary

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor provided updates on rookie Colbie Young ahead of Week 5. Young, who has been recovering from an injury, is reportedly ahead of schedule, potentially allowing him to play against the Miami Dolphins. This development comes as the Bengals manage injuries to several key receivers, including Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Young has only caught both of his targets in three games this season. If available, he could contribute significantly as the team deals with a depleted roster.
