Cincinnati Bengals Depth Chart: Updates on Tee Higgins and Khalil Herbert for Week 10

The Cincinnati Bengals are facing significant depth chart adjustments as they prepare for their Week 10 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.

Wide receiver Tee Higgins is listed as “doubtful” for the game due to a soft-tissue injury, specifically a quad injury he suffered in practice. This would be his third consecutive missed game, and there is a possibility he might not return until Week 13 after the team’s Week 12 bye.

In Higgins’s absence, the Bengals’ wide receiver depth chart includes Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Jermaine Burton, and Charlie Jones. Iosivas is expected to play a significant role, given his recent performance and the trust placed in him by the team. Burton, despite missing a walkthrough last week, could still see some action, although his reliability is in question.

On the running back front, the Bengals have made significant changes following the season-ending neck injury to Zack Moss. Khalil Herbert, recently acquired from the Chicago Bears, has joined the team and is expected to back up Chase Brown and Trayveon Williams. Herbert participated in practice on Tuesday and is healthy enough to suit up for the game, although his playing time is uncertain due to the short turnaround.

Head coach Zac Taylor has left the door open for Herbert to play, stating, “We’ll see where it goes… I wouldn’t take that off the table.” Quarterback Joe Burrow has also been helping Herbert get acclimated to the offense quickly.
