Thomas’s chances of playing never seemed great after missing practice all week with his toe injury. With him and Jarvis Landry out, it leaves rookie wide receiver Chris Olave to become the top option within the offense in Week 6. Quarterback Andy Dalton will have his work cut out for him trying to match points with the Bengals’ offense.
In 2022, Thomas has 16 receptions on 22 targets for 171 yards and three touchdowns in three starts. Expect Olave, Marquez Callaway, and tight end Adam Trautman to see an uptick in snap counts and target share this weekend.
