Finds end zone in preseason win
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.
