The Bengals could be down a pair of wide receivers on Sunday, so this move comes as no surprise.
The Cincinnati Bengals have elevated wide receiver Kendric Pryor from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, the team announced Saturday.
Pryor is classified as standard elevation. As a practice squad player being elevated to the active roster for the game, he automatically will revert to the practice squad on Monday.
This move comes as no surprise with Tee Higgins battling a hamstring injury that has him listed as doubtful to play this week. There’s also the possibility that Ja’Marr Chase will sit out if a long-term contract extension is not reached by tomorrow, so it was pretty much a lock that Cincinnati would elevate a wideout from the practice squad.
If Chase were to sit out and Higgins also miss the game, then the Bengals would be down to Pryor, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Charlie Jones, and Jermaine Burton.
