Ja’Marr Chase questionable, Tee Higgins questionable for Week 1

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said, “We’ll see,” when discussing the availability of receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on Friday. But one is more likely to play than the other.

Cincinnati has listed Ja’Marr Chase as questionable, while Higgins is questionable.

Higgins is struggling with a hamstring injury, which meant he was unable to train on Thursday and sidelined on Friday.

Chase is limited while his representation and the organization continue to negotiate an extension. Chase said Friday that the two sides are “pretty close” to a deal.

As Paul Dehner Jr. of TheAthletic.com noted, the Bengals could expand Mike Gesicki’s role as a pass target since Higgins likely won’t play.

Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins (thumb) and offensive tackle Amarius Mims (pecs) are both out.

Quarterback Joe Burrow (right wrist), receiver Jermaine Burton (toe) and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither (rest) are all missing from the report.
