Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins remains a question mark ahead of his team’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11.
Higgins has now missed three games in a row due to a quad injury suffered running routes in practice. Now, it becomes a question of whether the team will risk him on primetime or let him rest through the Week 12 bye.
Tee Higgins injury update
- UPDATE: The Bengals say Higgins will play on Sunday and he has no official game status on the final injury report.
- Higgins was officially “limited” on the first injury report of the week.
- Speaking with reporters on Monday before Week 11, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor tempered expectations about Higgins’ participation.
How long will Tee Higgins be out?
- This could be the end of Higgins’ second extended absence of the season. That said, the question then becomes whether he’ll be on a snap count and a decoy, or full-go. And if he doesn’t play, he won’t be back until after the bye.
Bengals depth chart
- Ja’Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Jermaine Burton, Charlie Jones, Isaiah Williams
Exiting the Jermaine Burton drama, the rookie caught just one pass last week with Higgins out. Ja’Marr Chase had 11 catches for 264 yards and three scores while no other wideout had more than two catches.
