The Bengals are playing top stars like Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins this preseason, for the obvious reasons. One of those stars, however, objects to putting words to that reason, even though the Bengals have talked about it. In recent years, Cincinnati has struggled out of the gates, and it’s hurt them in the end. In order to help alleviate that issue, they are trying to get their starters more prepared for action now.
But Higgins doesn’t like that storyline, at least when he was asked about it by Adam Shcein on Mad Dog Sports Radio.
