Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins face injury concerns ahead of Sunday's game

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who suffered a back injury in Week 9, practiced for the first time since the injury and expressed optimism about his availability for the next game. Chase was a limited participant in practice and stated that he is mentally preparing to play. Meanwhile, fellow Bengals receiver Tee Higgins did not practice due to a hamstring injury, and his availability for Sunday's game is uncertain.
