Coach Zac Taylor indicated that Cincinnati Bengals star WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins should be ready for the season Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: Ja'Marr Chase is managing a knee injury and Tee Higgins a heel injury as Cincinnati prepares for Week 1.

Why it matters: Their availability would keep Cincinnati's top receiving tandem on track for the Sept. 13 opener at Paycor Stadium.

By the numbers: Neither receiver practiced Tuesday.

What to watch: Watch the Bengals' practice reports for any change in their participation before the opener.
