Bengals' Colbie Young: Injures left knee, unlikely to return
Rotowire
Young (knee) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Young was serving as the Bengals' WR3 due to the absence of Andrei Iosivas (thumb, IR), but the former injured his left knee while hauling in a two-yard pass from Joe Burrow. Dohnte Meyers and Ke'Shawn Williams are both in line for more work on offense in Young's absence.

Bengals' Colbie Young: One catch in preseason finale
Rotowire
Young brought in one of three targets for nine yards in the Bengals' 30-13 preseason win over the Eagles on Friday.
The rookie fourth-round pick was quieter than during his first two preseason games, when he posted a 5-76-1 line on 12 targets. However, Young's roster spot is essentially locked in, and he opened the game with the first-team offense. The Georgia product has plenty of potential in a Joe Burrow-helmed offense, although top two wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will naturally command plenty of the prolific quarterback's attention most weeks.

Bengals' Colbie Young: Finds end zone in preseason win
Rotowire
Young brought in three of eight targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 27-9 preseason win over the Bears on Saturday.
The rookie fourth-round pick led the Bengals' pass catchers in receiving yards and targets on the night, and he made his first trip to the end zone as a pro via a 17-yard catch on a pass from Josh Johnson in the latter portion of the second quarter. Young now has a 5-76-1 line on 12 targets over his first two preseason games, making a solid case for the No. 4 receiver role to open the regular season.

Bengals' Colbie Young: Two catches in first NFL action
Rotowire
Young caught two of four targets for 28 yards in Thursday's 16-14 preseason win over the Lions.
Young ran with Joe Flacco and the second-team offense in the rookie fourth-round pick's NFL debut. Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are entrenched in the top two spots on Cincinnati's wide receiver depth chart, but Young will try to contribute in a depth role out of the gate. Young should continue to get ample opportunities in the Bengals' second preseason game against the Bears on Aug. 22.
