TEE HIGGINS NEWS

Three catches in win Higgins secured three of six targets for 44 yards in the Bengals' 34-11 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Higgins was a distant second behind Ja'Marr Chase in terms of wideout receptions and receiving yardage despite logging the same number of targets. However, the second-year wideout turned in a solid performance when factoring in the fact Joe Burrow distributed the ball to eight different pass catchers overall. Higgins will look to eclipse 50 receiving yards for the first time since Week 2 when the Bengals tangle with the Ravens on the road in Week 7.

Makes five grabs Higgins caught five of seven targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 25-22 overtime loss to the Packers. He also hauled in a successful two-point conversion.

Impact Higgins was utilized on underneath routes in his first appearance since Week 2. Although he had a drop late in the fourth quarter, Higgins still placed second across the board in receiving for the Bengals. The second-year target also tied the game with a two-point conversion grab in the fourth, boosting his output a bit. Higgins will now strive to build on Sunday's return with a good showing in Week 6 versus the winless Lions.

Cleared to play Higgins (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers after returning to a full practice Friday.

Impact Meanwhile, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told Ben Baby of ESPN.com that Higgins looked good in practice all week, which sets the stage for the wideout to return from a two-game absence with few limitations, if any. Prior to suffering his shoulder injury, Higgins hauled in 10 of his 15 targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in two contests.

Going through practice Friday Higgins (shoulder) is participating at Friday's practice, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Higgins was a limited participant at practices Wednesday and Thursday, and it's a good sign to see him on the field again Friday. The 22-year-old has missed the past two games with the shoulder injury but appears on track to return to action Sunday against the Packers, though it's unclear whether or not he'll avoid taking a questionable tag into the contest.

Logs another limited session Higgins (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Higgins has missed two straight games, but his participation in consecutive practices, albeit in a limited fashion, has him trending toward a return to action Sunday against the Packers. With that in mind, Higgins will presumably need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order to avoid a Week 5 injury designation.

Limited in return Higgins (shoulder) was a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact It puts Higgins tentatively on track for a return this Sunday against the Packers. That would be in line with a Sept. 30 report from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, in which it was reported that the Bengals planned to have Higgins back for Week 5 after he missed Weeks 3 and 4. Injury reports Thursday and Friday still need to be watched closely, as Higgins' return is no foregone conclusion at this early stage.

Set to practice Wednesday Higgins (shoulder) will practice Wednesday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact The Bengals will release their first Week 5 injury report later Wednesday, when it will be revealed whether Higgins was a limited or full participant in his return to practice. Either way, the second-year wideout is trending toward playing Sunday against the Packers after sitting out the Bengals' past two games with a sore shoulder.

Could be back Week 5 The Bengals are planning on having Higgins (shoulder) available for their Week 5 game against the Packers on Oct. 10, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Higgins has already been ruled out ahead of Thursday's home game against the Jaguars, marking his second straight absence on account of the sore shoulder. The second-year receiver might have had an outside chance to play if the Bengals were hosting the Jaguars on Sunday, but the quick turnaround for the Week 4 contest didn't provide Higgins with enough time to get healthy. Higgins should benefit from the longer break before the team's matchup with the Packers, but he may still need to return to full practice by the end of next week in order to avoid the inactive list once again.

Officially DNP Higgins (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Higgins underwent an evaluation Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury, and it appears he didn't receive encouraging news. The 22-year-old wideout was marked as DNP for the second straight session. He's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Thursday's home matchup against the Jaguars. If Higgins sits out, Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will serve as Joe Burrow's top receiving options.

Not participating Tuesday Higgins (shoulder) wasn't dressed during the part of Tuesday's practice open to the media, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Higgins appears poised to go down as a non-participant on a second straight injury report, after he was listed as DNP on Monday's practice estimate. The Bengals will reveal as much in the near future, but it seems as if the evaluation that coach Zac Taylor said Higgins would undergo on his shoulder issue Tuesday didn't yield positive results.

Impact Higgins will be reevaluated Tuesday after missing last week's win over the Steelers, but he'll be fighting an uphill battle as he tries to avoid a second consecutive absence on a short week. If the 2020 second-round pick is cleared to return, he'll face a Jacksonville secondary that will be without CJ Henderson, whom the Jaguars traded to Carolina on Monday.

Slated for evaluation Tuesday Higgins (shoulder) will be evaluated Tuesday to determine his status for Thursday's Week 4 matchup against the Jaguars, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Higgins was held out of Sunday's win over the Steelers due to a shoulder injury, and his status for Week 4 is in question with the Bengals facing a short week. The 22-year-old's status likely will come into focus based on his status in practice this week, but Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will continue to lead Cincinnati's receiving corps if Higgins is forced to miss a second straight game.

Back at practice Friday Higgins (shoulder) is suited up for Friday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Higgins sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's a good sign to see him back on the field Friday, even if he's only a limited participant. It remains unclear whether the 22-year-old will be able to avoid an injury designation, but he should have a chance to play Sunday at Pittsburgh.
