Cincinnati Bengals: Ja’Marr Chase Could See More Reps in Slot
Head Coach Zac Taylor hinted that star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase could see more reps in the slot during the upcoming season. Veteran wide receiver Tyler Boyd is a free agent and wide receiver Tee Higgins has been the subject of trade rumors after the Bengals placed the franchise tag on him.
Taylor said Chase can be effective lining up in the slot, or from any position he chooses.
“He can do anything you ask him to do,” Taylor said via Geoff Hobson of CincinnatiBengals.com. “I feel confident in Ja’Marr we could give him quarterback reps and it would play out well. He’s capable of doing anything in our offense.”
Taylor said he did not believe Boyd would be traded.
We’re excited for Tee to have a great year for us,” Taylor said. “We think he’s our best chance to help us win a Super Bowl. I’ve enjoyed working with Tee over the last four years and I expect this year to be another good one.”
Pittsburgh Steelers: New Quarterback Situation Energizes Mike Tomlin
The Steelers’ quarterback room looks a lot different than it did several weeks ago after acquiring Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
Head Coach Mike Tomlin believes Fields will benefit from playing with Wilson, who has won a Super Bowl and handled the pressure of being a franchise quarterback.
Tomlin has declared Wilson the starter, wanting Fields to learn from a veteran.
