Zac Taylor and Joe Burrow could face their biggest challenge yet in Week 5

The Cincinnati Bengals face a major offensive test in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins as star wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins may both be sidelined. Chase is in concussion protocol, while Higgins remains day-to-day with an adductor injury. With Andrei Iosivas and Colbie Young also out until after the bye, head coach Zac Taylor and quarterback Joe Burrow face a heavily depleted receiver room.

Andrew Kusleika writes that secondary options such as Dohnte Meyers, Mitchell Tinsley, and tight end Mike Gesicki must step up to support Burrow's passing attack. Following a Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars marked by critical turnovers, Kusleika argues that Cincinnati cannot afford similar mistakes even against the winless Dolphins.
