**Cincinnati, OH** – The Cincinnati Bengals face a crucial showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, but several key players are battling injuries heading into the playoff-deciding game. The team released its injury report Thursday, revealing a number of questionable designations.
Running back Chase Brown, who missed practice all week with an ankle injury sustained against the Broncos, is looking doubtful for the game. Wide receiver Tee Higgins, despite catching the game-winning touchdown last week, is also listed as questionable with ankle and knee issues, although he did participate in limited practice.
Other questionable players include right tackle Amarius Mims (ankle, hand), wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin), tight end Drew Sample (groin), and cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt (ankle). Defensive end Sam Hubbard has been ruled out with a knee injury.
The Bengals’ playoff hopes hang in the balance. A victory, coupled with losses by both the Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins, would secure them a postseason berth. The status of Higgins and the other injured players will be closely monitored as the team prepares for this critical matchup.
