Bengals Lose to Jaguars as Both Starting Receivers Injured

The Cincinnati Bengals lost 22-17 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, their second straight defeat, and both starting receivers were injured. Ja’Marr Chase left with a concussion and entered concussion protocol, while Tee Higgins suffered an adductor injury late in the game after catching 11 passes for 157 yards. Higgins briefly tried to return but could not run his route effectively; coach Zac Taylor said Higgins was trying to help the team win. The injuries add to Cincinnati’s receiver shortage, with Andrei Iosivas on injured reserve and Colbie Young unavailable against Jacksonville. The Bengals are awaiting updates on Chase and Higgins before next week’s game against Miami.
