Is Tee Higgins playing today? Injury updates for Bengals WR

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is dealing with a leg injury. Here are the latest updates for Week 9.

(This story was updated to add new information.)

While the big talk around Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins pertains to the NFL trade deadline, he’s simply having trouble getting on the field in Week 9.

Higgins suffered an injury in practice before Week 8 and isn’t 100 percent yet, putting his status for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders in doubt.

Here’s the latest.

 

Tee Higgins injury update

 

How long will Tee Higgins be out?

So far, the Bengals haven’t slapped him on injured reserve, which means they don’t think he’ll be out more than four games. But with soft-tissue injuries, who knows? He missed the first two games of the year with a different issue, then had this setback in practice.

 

Bengals WR depth chart

Ja’Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Jermaine Burton, Charlie Jones

With Iosivas struggling, there’s been a lot of talk about getting the rookie Burton more snaps. Joe Burrow has asked for it too, so expect it.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins’ trade deadline fate made clear in new report

A report details what the Bengals are thinking with Tee Higgins at the NFL trade deadline.

The Cincinnati Bengals might just be buyers at the NFL trade deadline—and they certainly aren’t trading wide receiver Tee Higgins.

According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, the Bengals won’t entertain the idea of Higgins trade: “Also: I was told they are not trading wideout Tee Higgins.”

That’s pretty explicit in a way that seems to say the Bengals won’t move Higgins no matter what happens during this weekend’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

While we’ve written that the Bengals should be sellers if they drop to 3-6 there, the actual possibility of the team trading Higgins has always been near zero.

Those Bengals just aren’t in the habit of trading away players often and especially not players on franchise tags.

With the AFC a close mess, the offense so much better with Higgins on the field and the slim chance the team can still re-sign him this offseason alongside extending Ja’Marr Chase, the Bengals aren’t likely to entertain any trade offers.

Of course, Higgins actually getting on the field is a big issue. He’s on pace to miss his second straight game in a row after suffering a quad injury running routes during a Friday practice. A different soft-tissue injury cost him the first two games of this season, too, and nagging hamstring issues have plagued his pro career to date.

Not that any of this will shock Bengals fans, but the report is notable, especially when the national speculation continues to point at Higgins as a possible mover at the deadline.

Raiders vs Bengals final injury report: Latest updates, news for Week 9

All the latest updates and news on TEAMA’s injury report ahead of a Week X game vs. TEAMB.

The final injury report for the Raiders and Bengals for their Week 9 matchup is out. With it, the Raiders have one player OUT and three others whose status is Questionable.

Raiders, Bengals injury report

Andre James injury update

James has been ruled OUT with an ankle injury. He will be replaced at center by Jackson Powers-Johnson.

Dylan Parham injury update

Parham is Questionable to miss his third straight game with a foot injury. Jordan Meredith has replaced him at right guard in each of the past two games.

Robert Spillane injury update

Spillane is Questionable with a knee injury with Antonio Pierce saying he will be a game time decision. If he can’t go, Tommy Eichenberg would most likely start at middle linebacker.

Zamir White injury update

White returned to practice Friday after missing Thursday’s practice. He is officially Questionable. Alexander Mattison is expected to get the bulk of the carries regardless, but the team has said they would like to get White going if he’s healthy.

Bengals get horrific injury updates ahead of Week 9 vs. Raiders

Some brutal injury updates for the Bengals ahead of Week 9.

The Cincinnati Bengals couldn’t afford bad news on the injury report going into Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

But the struggling 3-5 squad got it anyway—twice.

According to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor revealed that offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. and wideout Tee Higgins will both be doubtful on the final injury report.

Brown attempted to play through an injury last week and appeared to reaggravate it or suffer a new setback, which means it will be Cody Ford in front of Joe Burrow at left tackle against a Raiders front seven with an elite name like Maxx Crosby.

Higgins had that late injury in practice one week ago and missed the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The latest updates trended toward him not playing against the Raiders, which means rookie Jermaine Burton could get more run — Burrow himself has called for just that.

At least for now, neither guy has gone to injured reserve, meaning they should be back before four more games get played. But both will miss a critical contest where the Bengals risk falling to 3-6.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins best trade fit is Commanders, says NFL analyst

One analyst says to watch the Commanders for Tee Higgins.

Right now, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is more likely to miss multiple games with an injury than get traded before next week’s deadline.

But that won’t stop the Higgins trade speculation from happening.

Analyzing things ahead of the deadline, USA Today’s Jacob Camenker outlined the Washington Commanders as the best fit for Higgins: “Higgins is a free agent after the 2024 NFL season, and the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t likely to retain the 6-4, 219-pound receiver. They still need to ink Ja’Marr Chase to a lucrative, long-term extension, so paying Higgins his worth won’t be easy between that and Joe Burrow’s massive contract.”

Washington does present one of the ideal situations for a Higgins trade partner — the Commanders have the cap flexibility to make it work, the draft assets to offer, players to offer, and play in the NFC. It would be doing right by Higgins himself too, sending him to a team with Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin.

That said, the Bengals aren’t trading Higgins. The offense has been too good when he’s on the field and there’s still that super-slim possibility the Bengals find a way to bring him back on a long-term deal.

Barring Higgins getting healthy and a monster haul the Bengals can’t refuse (first-round pick and more), all speculation on the topic is just a fun exercise.

Bengals will keep listening to Tee Higgins trade calls — but don’t expect one

Don’t expect the Bengals to deal Tee Higgins before the trade deadline.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins recently addressed trade speculation.

Unfortunately for Higgins, trade speculation isn’t going to stop until the NFL trade deadline passes.

Case in point, Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post recently noted that teams continue to call: “Should the 3-5 Cincinnati Bengals deal Tee Higgins, who is certain to leave as a free agent in the offseason and has missed multiple games because of injuries? They should, and teams are calling. Does anyone think owner Mike Brown will do it? It would be shocking at this point. ”

Teams will keep asking about Higgins in the name of due diligence — and the Bengals will keep declining any and all offers.

The Bengals hit Higgins with the franchise tag and remain unlikely to keep him from leaving via free agency next offseason, yes. But even if the team were winless, it doesn’t usually act as sellers.

Adding to the complexity of the situation is the fact that the Bengals still technically remain in the hunt in the AFC despite the 3-5 record.

Plus, Higgins is injured again, this time with a quad issue suffered during practice that sidelined him in Week 8 and puts the upcoming week or two in doubt, too.

Will Tee Higgins play this week? Injury updates for Bengals WR

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is dealing with a leg injury. Here are the latest updates.

(This story was updated to add new information.)

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is back as the main injury focus, this time ahead of the Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Higgins suffered an injury late last week and missed the team’s blowout loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. He suffered a quad injury in practice.

 

Tee Higgins injury update

How long will Tee Higgins be out?

  • Impossible to say, given Higgins’ extensive history with soft-tissue injuries. This one happened running a route in practice on a Friday, which is usually a lighter day before a game. And Taylor throws out “day-to-day” often, especially before injury reports come out and get more detailed.

Bengals depth chart

  • Ja’Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Jermaine Burton, Charlie Jones

Iosivas was brutal in Week 8 when asked to take on a bigger role. Perhaps this leads to a bigger workload for the rookie Burton, though he’s had a troubled path to playing time too.

Former Clemson star wide receiver Tee Higgins listed OUT against the Philadelphia Eagles

Tee Higgins will not suit up against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Philadelphia Eagles without Tee Higgins, their standout wide receiver, who has been ruled out due to a quad injury that arose late in the week. NFL insider Tom Pelissero shared the news, noting the Bengals will need to rely on others in the former Clemson football star wide receivers absence to maintain their momentum.

Higgins, a key playmaker for quarterback Joe Burrow, has played a pivotal role in helping the Bengals offense find its rhythm. Paired with Ja’Marr Chase, he brings a dual threat to Cincinnati’s passing game, forcing defenses to stay alert. The Bengals, now 3-4, are looking to reach a .500 record heading into their bye week by defeating the Eagles.. So far, Higgins has recorded 29 catches for 431 yards and three touchdowns, including a strong 82-yard, one-touchdown performance against Cleveland last week.

Higgins, who emerged from Clemson as one of the NFL’s top young receivers, is set to become a free agent after this season, as he and the Bengals have not yet reached an extension agreement.

Is Tee Higgins playing today? Injury updates for Bengals WR vs. Eagles in Week 8

Kelsey Conway is reporting that Tee Higgins is likely to miss the Cincinnati Bengals matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8

The Eagles are in Cincinnati for an intriguing matchup against the Bengals, and one of Joe Burrow’s biggest weapons is unlikely to be available.

Tee Higgins landed on the injury list Thursday after suffering a soft tissue injury with his quad.  Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that “it doesn’t look good” for his chances to play on Sunday.

Higgins has 29 receptions for 341 yards, and three touchdowns in five games played this season. His 5.8 receptions per game are a career-high, and his 68.2 yards per game is the highest since 2021.
