The Cincinnati Bengals lost 22-17 to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, marking their second consecutive defeat. Despite Joe Burrow throwing for 428 yards, the team failed to convert a final red-zone drive due to a fourth-quarter interception. Key injuries to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins forced the Bengals to rely on backup receivers, while persistent issues with the running game and tackling continued to plague the offense and defense.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins suffered an adductor injury during a 22-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, following the earlier exit of star teammate Ja'Marr Chase due to a concussion. Higgins recorded 11 catches for 157 yards, his second-best career total, before leaving the game in the fourth quarter. Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed the adductor diagnosis, though the severity remains unclear. The Bengals' receiving corps was further depleted by injuries to Andrei Iosivas and Colbie Young in previous games, leaving only Dohnte Meyers and Mitch Tinsley healthy for the final drive. Joe Burrow threw for 428 yards, but the team could not overcome the defensive pressure or the absence of their top two receivers.
Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase was ruled out for the remainder of their Week 4 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after suffering a concussion.

Chase remained on the field for several minutes before walking to the medical tent and then the locker room. The Bengals, already missing receivers Colbie Young and Andrei Iosivas, faced a critical depth issue. The team ultimately lost the game 22-17, with Chase recording three catches for 37 yards before exiting.

Before leaving, Chase recorded three catches for 26 yards.
The NFL fined Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins for a touchdown celebration the league deemed obscene. According to The Athletic, the combined fines exceed $89,000, with Higgins penalized four times and Chase twice. Chase described the gesture as a variation of 'the people's elbow,' a move popularized by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, though many observers interpreted it as a phallic reference. The fines were issued following a 20-6 victory over the Houston Texans on September 20, 2026.
