Young receiver Bergen positioned to compete for snaps with injuries opening opportunity.

Junior Bergen is positioned as a young receiver on Cowing's heels competing for roster spots. With Cowing sidelined by a hip flexor injury and other established receivers (Mike Evans, De'Zhaun Stribling, Christian Kirk) still not practicing, the door is open for young receivers like Bergen to step in and make a name for themselves during practice.
