Tee Higgins injury update: Latest news, rumors on Bengals WR, Week 13

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, alongside Joe Burrow and Trey Hendrickson, is one of the key injury talking points for the team in Week 13.

Higgins suffered an injury during his team’s Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots while acting as the No. 1 wideout for Joe Flacco, while Ja’Marr Chase served his one-game suspension.

Here’s the latest.

Tee Higgins injury updates

• Higgins won’t play on Thanksgiving against the Baltimore Ravens while rehabbing from a concussion.

• Higgins needed a cart to leave the field during the loss to the Patriots after hitting his head on the turf. After the game, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Higgins entered concussion protocol.

Tee Higgins injury outlook

If the Bengals had a week off, Higgins might’ve been able to clear concussion protocol, depending on the severity of the setback. But the quick turnaround to a Thursday night game made it impossible. If all goes well, he should be back for the Week 14 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Bengals WR depth chart, Tee Higgins fantasy football outlook

• Ja’Marr Chase

• Tee Higgins

• Andre Iosvias

• Charlie Jones

• Jermaine Burton

• Mitchell Tinsley

Almost as expected, Tinsley caught a touchdown last week with Chase out. Totally expected, Burton remains a staple of the inactives list. Tinsley should almost function as the No. 2 at this point, with Chase back fresh and tight ends working into the mix.
