Cincinnati has a chance to keep Higgins on the field in Week 5 while Ja'Marr Chase works through concussion protocol. That would preserve a proven top target instead of forcing the Bengals to replace both starting receivers at the same time.

Current Cincinnati Bengals Injuries
8 currentPFM Impact on Cincinnati Bengals
Iosivas' IR move removes Cincinnati's third starting receiver from the offense for at least four games. That pushes more outside and three-receiver work onto the depth behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and makes the passing game thinner if either top target needs relief.
Hill's absence removes a starting interior defender from Cincinnati's front against Houston. The Bengals will have to cover those snaps with the rest of their defensive tackle rotation while Shemar Stewart returns to the lineup.
