What happened: Cincinnati Bengals receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are questionable for Week 5. Chase remains in concussion protocol following a play that saw Jarrian Jones fined for a facemask penalty, and Higgins is managing an adductor injury. Separately, running back Saquon Barkley has been ruled out.

Why it matters: The potential absence of both Chase and Higgins would force Cincinnati to heavily adjust its passing attack and rely on depth options. Barkley's confirmed absence removes a primary rushing threat for his offensive unit this weekend.

What to watch: Final inactive lists will confirm if either Cincinnati receiver clears necessary protocols to play on Sunday.
