Bengals news: Ja’Marr Chase speaks on Tee Higgins, new name on injury report and more

With the team about to square off in a finale that is more about pride than anything else, most of the Cincinnati Bengals news during the mid-week stretch focused on star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

Go figure, given Chase has been at the forefront of the media interviewing cycle ever since quarterback Joe Burrow went down with his season-ending injury.

It doesn’t hurt, of course, that Chase is super upfront about pretty much any question lobbed his way. This time, the highlight was the fact he might be about to play his last game alongside Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, never mind questions about the Bengals giving those guys extensions.

Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for January 5.
