The Bengals just got SCARY news...

The Bengals just got scary news. This player was nowhere to be seen during Wednesday's practice, and the timing could not be worse. Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense could be facing a major challenge, and here is what we know up to this point. Be sure to stick around to the very end, because we're going to cover all of that here in today's episode of Bengals Digest. So thank you for joining in, wherever you may be across the world. We really appreciate you guys helping us push closer and closer to our goal of 6,000 subscribers. We're getting really close, guys, and it has been a journey to get to this point.

You know, we're doing it here on Bengals Digest. We're bringing you guys the daily news, and, you know, I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to have you guys to interact with. You guys are great. audience um great people to talk to so i really appreciate that so we're pushing forward heading into the week against Tennessee which looks on paper to be a pretty light matchup for the Bengals we're not too concerned about it but you know you definitely want to don't want to fall into a trap game and get optimistic about something that you really uh have to be on the lookout for with this game um in terms of a trap game and just you know Tennessee does have some talented players and they can make you pay if uh if you don't do the right things and you don't prep in practice correctly so starting off today we're diving into Joe Burrow having the Bengals offense rolling we talked about it a little bit earlier this week just in terms of what he did on Sunday just a dominant second half performance arguably the best second the best half of his entire career I mean he just dominated it was seamless he looked efficient he wiped off that entire first half that was honestly the whole team struggled quite a bit in that first half and it was great to see the resilience of Joe Burrow and company to really be able to get it done and I think it sets the pace for the kind of attitude that the Bengals have this season in terms of trying to be a championship contender. And we have some question marks that we got to answer, and we're going to get to that later today, specifically on the offensive side, but also defense. And I think it's really something we got to look at and adjust to heading in week by week. Now, one of the strangest things about getting older is that your energy, your focus, and your recovery are just not what they used to be. But it's a change that is so gradual, a decline that's so gradual that you really don't notice it until it's too late. And that is where today's sponsor, Mars Men, comes into play. Mars Men uses clinically dosed ingredients like vitamin D, zinc, boron, and a few others to naturally support testosterone, energy, and stamina. I've noticed that when I'm using it in the gym, it really does help me out with recovery. I recover quicker, I'm less tired, and it gives me a good steady support without feeling like a temporary caffeine boost, getting all jittery and hyped up like pre-workout or an energy drink or something like that.

Now, diving into the big news of today's episode, Jamar Chase missed Wednesday's practice. And so let's get into the updates on that. Paul Deiner Jr. brought us this. So the Bengals going through Wednesday practice in Prep for Tennessee. There was no sign of Jamar Chase out there for 30 minutes open to media. That's expected. We'll track down more info. So, as far as we're aware, up to this point, at the time I'm recording, there is no news on why he was not at practice. It could be an injury he was dealing with previously, earlier in the season, or it could just be something completely unrelated and new. I don't know. There's more information to come, hopefully, later this week. But, you look at his numbers up to this point in the season, 351 yards on 32 catches, and 5 touchdowns on top of that. now looking at their depth chart a little bit bruised up obviously we got Yoshi on IR and then um Colby Young is also out as well but looking at their depth chart the way that it looks right now actually scratch that I apologize Colby Young is back forgot that he was in that game he just didn't have any stats so you know slipped my mind but in terms of you know who's gonna be playing you know of course you know how it goes Mitchell Tinsley is in there uh Colby Young is going to be in there and Dante Myers in terms of that wide receiver core along with T Higgins of course but I do think that this injury could provide good news in the sense that we talked about it last week about T Higgins making a key impact should call him T Higgins that's a good nickname for him but uh I think that he really is set to have another big one especially if Jamar chase doesn't end up playing in this one i mean paul daner jr talks about how he often lives in the shadows of jamar chase in the offense but he's kind of become the star of the show and he's really shifting into the spotlight at this point in the season looking very good producing at a very high level and i really expect that to continue against the titans who have a pretty week secondary 33 catches 571 yards 95.2 yards a game he was well over 100 last week and 17 yards per catch i'm curious what you guys think do you think chase brown depending on what we find out about his injury do you think let him play um do you think they can keep rolling against tennessee even with chase being limited or unavailable let me know in the comments yes or no yes even if chase is limited or no they need chase available i'm personally going to go with yes i think that they can definitely keep it rolling especially with the way t higgins has been playing lately i think err on the side of caution and if it is something that he's sitting out of practice for you know and it's injury related i think maybe you might need to sit him this week against a team that you're expected to be especially the way the other receivers are playing coming back healthy a little bit the health is trending upward at least for the bengals uh the bye really helped out with that so hopefully we don't deal with any more heading forward but this is definitely scary um hearing about jamar we're gonna have to find out more in tomorrow's episode um and and throughout the week and just kind of monitor it but we gotta hear for you on Bengals Digest and be sure to stay tuned
