Bengals TE Hayden Hurst responds to Justin Reid trash talk

Hurst's comment comes after Reid said to Fox4's PJ Green on Wednesday that he would "lock down" wide receiver Tee Higgins. Reid later clarified on Twitter that he meant to say Hurst (not Higgins).

After the safety's comments, Cincinnati Pro Bowl wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase jumped on Twitter to respond to his opponent's words. Chase has missed the last four games with a hip injury but is expected to return on Sunday.

The Week 13 bout is an AFC Championship Game rematch, which was won by the Bengals 27-24 in overtime on Jan. 30. Hurst is in his first season in Cincinnati after spending the last two years with the Atlanta Falcons, while Reid is in his first campaign with Kansas City after starting his career with four seasons with the Houston Texans.

With a healthy Chase and Higgins putting up big numbers, Hurst may not see as many targets on Sunday as he's been getting over the past month. He's tied with Tyler Boyd for third on the team in targets with 60 -- trailing only Higgins (80) and Chase (74) -- while ranking third in receptions (46) and fourth in receiving yards (388). He's added two touchdowns.
