On September 7th, all right, let's talk about the Cincinnati Bengals receiving core. John Marcheis and T Higgins are both back on the practice field. This is big news as the team gears up for their season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Chase have been sideline with a knee injury he picked up in practice late last month, but it looks like he's good to go. Higgins also rejoined the team's drills. He was dealing with a bit of a heal issue that kept him limited in practice last week. Head coach Zach Taylor mentioned it was just a minor contusion, and he's apparently recovered enough to give back out there with the squad. Taylor was playing it safe with his star receivers during the extra week they had between their last preseason game and the start of the regular. Season, it makes sense. You want your keyplay makers healthy and ready for week one, not risking them in meaningless games. So, the team seems to be in a much better place, health wise, heading into this matchup. The focus now shifts to getting everyone back in sync and ready to execute the game plan

against Tampa Bay. It's always a relief for fans when you hear your top guys are back on the field. We'll see how they perform when the real game start next week. From around the league, Power by AI. This is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
