The Cincinnati Bengals are aiming to recapture their strong 2021-2022 form as they enter the 2024 season. After consecutive trips to the AFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl, their previous season was disrupted primarily by injuries.
Cincinnati is set to start their season at home against the New England Patriots, but their offense may appear different than anticipated. With Tee Higgins expected to miss the opener due to a hamstring injury and Ja’Marr Chase’s status uncertain amid ongoing contract negotiations, the Bengals have promoted Kendrick Pryor from the practice squad.
The possibility of missing two top receivers could force the Bengals to lean more on their rushing game. Chase has indicated that he might play even if his contract isn’t finalized, but his participation remains a game-time decision. The game against New England is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM ET.
