The Miami Dolphins are looking for their first win of the season as they face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. Miami's offense has struggled, averaging 11.5 points per game, and will likely be without top rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas, who is still recovering from injury. Head coach Jeff Hafley indicated that Douglas is making progress but remains unlikely to play in Week 5. Douglas led the team in receiving yards after two games, creating a significant gap in Miami’s offensive capabilities. The Dolphins, currently 0-4, have another chance to improve after a scheduled bye in Week 6. Meanwhile, Bengals wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are both listed as questionable for the upcoming game, having returned to practice after injuries in Week 4.
