Bengals news: Joe Burrow’s fresh look, injury updates on Tee Higgins, Chidobe Awuzie

Most of it comes down the offensive side of the ball too thanks to Joe Burrow’s sudden resurgence (and his wild-looking outfit with a fun story attached to it).
Following that theme, we’ve got Ja’Marr Chase making some history, snap counts to go over and even some minor injury updates on names like Tee Higgins and Chidobe Awuzie.
Before the Bengals start prep for the game against the Seattle Seahawks, here are the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for October 10.
