Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is one of several notable inactives for the team ahead of the Week 5 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Cincinnati will also miss No. 1 cornerback Chidobe Awuzie:
- LB Akeem Davis-Gaither
- WR Tee Higgins
- CB Chidobe Awuzie
- C Trey Hill
- DT Josh Tupou
- OT D’Ante Smith
Higgins has been dealing with a rib injury that he initially said he wanted to attempt to play through. Davis-Gaither continues to battle an injury so this was foreshadowed by the team adding a linebacker on waivers not too long ago.
Defensive end Trey Hendrickson and cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie and Cam Taylor-Britt were questionable for the game. The latter will pair with rookie DJ Turner as starters with Awuzie out.
