Kicker Evan McPherson noted the excitement among players, suggesting that the return of these games could rejuvenate the team's spirit as they face a challenging remainder of the season. With a current record of 4-7, the Bengals are struggling this year, and the table tennis could provide a much-needed spark as they prepare for their upcoming games.

In a surprising decision, Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton has been declared a healthy scratch for the game. This move comes at a critical time as fellow WR Tee Higgins is also sidelined. Team officials have indicated that they will provide further explanation to the media after the game, raising questions about the team's strategy and player management.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is doubtful for the Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots due to a hamstring injury.
