u/alex • 3m

Bengals may be without Tee Higgins and Orlando Brown Jr. against the Raiders.

Why it matters: The absence of both Higgins and Brown could have a significant impact on the Bengals' offense, affecting their passing game and offensive line protection.

Higgins has been dealing with a quadricep injury and has already missed three games this season.
Brown re-aggravated a knee injury that forced him to leave the previous game against the Browns.

Yes, but: The Bengals have shown confidence in rookie Jermaine Burton, who could step up if Higgins is unable to play.

Burton had a season-high 24 snaps in the previous game and has been progressing well in the team's scheme.

What to watch: The availability of Higgins and Brown will be closely monitored leading up to the game against the Raiders.

Their presence or absence could greatly impact the Bengals' offensive strategy and performance.

Zac Taylor on Jermaine Burton: The Bengals' head coach expressed confidence in Burton's progress and ability to contribute to the offense.

Jermaine Burton on his opportunity: Burton has been waiting for his chance and is determined to make the best of it when given the opportunity.

Zac Taylor on the team's approach to the trade deadline: The Bengals are unlikely to make any trades and believe in the current roster they have.

The bottom line: The Bengals will need to adapt and rely on depth players like Jermaine Burton to step up if Tee Higgins and Orlando Brown Jr. are unable to play.

This situation highlights the importance of depth and preparation in the NFL, where injuries can significantly impact a team's performance.
