During his eight-year NFL career, Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers coach Troy Walters was the No. 4 wide receiver for every team he played on.
Walters only started nine of the 98 games he played. So he knows what he’s looking for as he evaluates whether Mike Thomas, Stanley Morgan, Trey Taylor or Kwamie Lassiter II will be the first wide receiver on the depth chart this season behind Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.
Higgins is currently limited in practice as he recovers from a shoulder injury, which is giving the coaching staff more snaps to evaluate the first players on the bench.
