Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins return to Bengals practice for season opener

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins returned to practice on September 7 as the team begins preparations for its season opener. The Bengals are scheduled to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 13. Chase had been sidelined since August 25 due to a knee injury, though head coach Zac Taylor indicated that he was not concerned about the receiver's availability. Higgins also participated after being limited during the previous week because of a heel contusion. Taylor maintained a cautious approach with the team's receiving corps during the break following the final preseason game on August 28. The Bengals report having no significant health concerns as they prepare for the start of the regular season.
