The Bengals have now lost two straight games after a promising start to the 2026 season, and injuries to the starring receiver pair is another major concern. The schedule eases the difficulty a bit with a trip to face the Dolphins.

The Bengals were also without Colbie Young (inactive, knee) and Andrei Iosivas (injured reserve, thumb) in Week 4, leaving them perilously thin at receiver. Dohnte Meyers might be the team's second option in the passing game if Higgins or Chase misses time.

As for Higgins, the 27-year-old has been fantastic to start this season, catching 25 passes for 401 yards and a touchdown through four games. Injuries have been an issue for him in the past, however, costing him 12 games in the previous three seasons.
