The impact of the Bengals' limited depth at wide receiver with Ja'Marr Chase injured

After the Cincinnati Bengals’ final preseason game heading into the 2022 season, wide receiver Trenton Irwin could read the writing on the wall.

Even though he had 93 receiving yards in that game, he knew it likely wasn’t enough to lock down a roster spot. The Bengals also had two undrafted free agent rookies, Kwamie Lassiter II and Kendric Pryor, who outplayed Irwin during training camp and looked poised to claim spots on the Bengals’ practice squad.
