Is Tee Higgins playing this week? Bengals injury update is good news for Week 16 WR

The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off a horrific week on offense.

They got some good news on Friday in the hopes of a bounceback performance.

A week ago, the Bengals didn't have Tee Higgins. He was out with a concussion when they took on the Ravens.

This week, with Cincinnati in Miami on Sunday, that might be different.

Is Tee Higgins playing this week?

The news looks good for Tee Higgins to return to the field and play in Week 16 for the Bengals.

Higgins was a limited participant in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, but on Friday, he was upgraded to a full participant.

That means likely a positive final step through concussion protocol and a chance to play on Sunday.

He's listed as questionable on the final injury report, so his status will have to be monitored on Sunday.

But given the positive progression in his practice status, it looks like the lean is toward an active Higgins on Sunday.

That'll allow him to pair with Ja'Marr Chase to give Joe Burrow his top two targets, and against a weak Dolphins defense, the Bengals' offense should look much better.
