Tee Higgins injury update

Higgins briefly left the game, missing only a few plays before returning to the game Sunday night. The Bengals haven’t announced what the actual injury is, but it will be worth keeping an eye on in the future.

After missing the final three games with a quad injury, Higgins made his return in what was an injury-riddled season for him before hitting free agency in the offseason.
