Is Mike Gesicki playing tonight?
UPDATE: With one quarter in the books, Gesicki is still stuck on one target and no catches. Gesicki isn't the only Bengals tight end off to a bad start, though, as Noah Fant hasn't been targeted at all.

Instead, quarterback Joe Burrow connected with tight end Drew Sample, wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Mitchell Tinsley and running back Chase Brown.
