Is Cole Beasley playing today vs. Bengals? Update on Buffalo Bills WR for divisional round game 

Cole Beasley is an important component of the Buffalo Bills' offense. Beasley is playing his eleventh season in the NFL and his fourth with the Bills.

The Bills finished first in the AFC East and confirmed their playoff berth with a winning record of 13-3.

Buffalo met the Miami Dolphins and defeated them 34-31 in the 2023 playoff Wild Card round. They will play their second playoff round game against the Cincinnati Bengals at 3:00 PM ET on Sunday, 22 January at Highmark Stadium.

Cole Beasley, a wide receiver for the Bills, is healthy and will play the game against the Bengals. He will play his sixth game of this season, while representing the Bills.

Beasley played his last game against the Miami Dolphins in the 2023 playoff Wild Card round. He caught two receptions on five targets for 35 yards and scored one touchdown. He played an important role in the Bills' win against the Dolphins.

After the 2021 season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers acquired Beasley. After playing two games with the Buccaneers, he went into retirement before joining his former team, the Buffalo Bills, in December 2022.

In four games this regular season, he has had six receptions on seven targets for 35 targets and scored no touchdowns.

Beasley won't be starting the game against the Bengals, but will be in the spotlight, especially after his last performance. He has played three games and has started in only one game this season with the Bills.

It's important to note that Isaiah McKenzie, a fellow wide receiver, missed the game due to a hamstring injury. Now that McKenzie is expected to play, Khalil Shakir and Beasley's roles will probably be reduced. With McKenzie in good health, it's difficult to see either of those two guys having much of an influence.
