Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins should be on the field for his team’s game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
So says a new report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, who says Higgins is “expected to play” in Week 6.
Higgins just had his first full practice Friday since the rib injury he suffered on October 1, so it seemed like he’d be a go despite head coach Zac Taylor calling him a game-time decision.
The Bengals got three touchdown passes from Joe Burrow and a franchise record 15 catches for 192 yards and those three touchdowns from Ja’Marr Chase with Higgins out last week, though the Seahawks seem like a much tougher challenge than the Cardinals.
If Higgins can get through Week 6 without issue, the Bengals have a bye right after to rest up. Burrow himself is close to 100 percent.
