Not practicing Wednesday Higgins (hamstring) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Coach Zac Taylor noted earlier Wednesday that Higgins is making progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury that sidelined him in Week 1. With that in mind, the wideout is viewed in the day-to-day category ahead of Thursday's practice.

Inactive Sunday Higgins (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
Impact After being added to the Bengals' injury report Thursday as limited with a hamstring issue, Higgins didn't practice Friday and was deemed doubtful for Sunday's contest. With Higgins unavailable, some combination of Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Charlie Jones and Jermaine Burton are positioned to see added work versus New England alongside Ja'Marr Chase (illness), who is listed as active, but figures to have his Week 1 workload somewhat limited. Higgins will target a potential return to action Sept. 15 against the Chiefs.

Status in doubt for Week 1 Higgins (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
Impact Higgins made an appearance on the Bengals' Week 1 injury report Thursday as limited due to a hamstring issue, which didn't allow him to practice at all Friday, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Coach Zac Taylor told Geoff Hobson of the team's official site, "We'll see," when asked about the status of Higgins and fellow WR Ja'Mar Chase (non-injury-related/rest) for Sunday's contest. With Higgins unlikely to suit up and Chase listed as questionable, there's a chance QB Joe Burrrow will be without his top two options at the position this weekend. In such a scenario, Andrei Iosivas and rookie Jermaine Burton would be thrust into large roles in Cincinnati's offense.

Not seen at walk-through Higgins (hamstring) wasn't spotted during the initial stage of Friday's walk-through, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Higgins was added to the Bengals' Week 1 injury report after being limited Thursday by a hamstring issue. Friday's official practice/injury report will provide further context with regard to his status, but either way this is a situation to monitor, especially given the uncertainly surrounding fellow WR Ja'Marr Chase ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Shows up on injury report Higgins (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Higgins didn't show any notable signs of injury during his post-practice locker room availability, per Dehner, but it looks like a hamstring issue is at least slightly bothering him ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Patriots. Then again, with Ja'Marr Chase still limited amid an ongoing contract dispute, the Bengals could simply be taking a cautious approach to the health of the rest of the wide receiver corps. Rookie third-rounder Jermaine Burton (toe) upgraded to practicing in full after having been limited Wednesday, while quarterback Joe Burrow hasn't had any caps on his reps but has been listed with a right wrist issue.

Not suiting up Thursday Higgins isn't in line to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Colts, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Higgins thus will make just one appearance during exhibition season, having hauled in two of three targets for 19 yards and a touchdown from QB Joe Burrow back in preseason Week 1 versus the Buccaneers. Fellow WR Ja'Marr Chase returned to the Bengals' facility Monday after he was away from the team for most of the previous week due to his ongoing contract dispute. It doesn't seem likely that the situation will linger into the regular season, but if it does, Higgins would be the clear-cut top pass catcher in Cincinnati's offense for as long as Chase doesn't suit up.

Not likely to play Higgins is unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason game against Chicago, as the Bengals plan to rest most of their starters, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Higgins played in the preseason opener against Tampa Bay last Saturday and caught two of three targets for 19 yards and a TD on his only drive (with the lone incompletion being a near-miss on a deep ball into double coverage in the end zone). He's been healthy all summer after battling hamstring injuries for much of last season, set to play out 2024 under a franchise tag for $21.8 million. Ja'Marr Chase, meanwhile, still hasn't practiced this summer amidst a contract dispute.

Finds end zone in preseason opener Higgins brought in two of three targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 17-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Impact Higgins received plenty of Joe Burrow's attention on the opening possession with Ja'Marr Chase held out, recording a nine-yard grab before capping off the drive with a 10-yard touchdown reception. Higgins was also the target on two deep incompletions, drawing a 17-yard pass-interference call on the second one to place the ball at the Buccaneers' nine-yard line. The fifth-year wideout, who's set to play 2024 on the franchise tag, looks to already be in regular-season form heading into the Bengals' second exhibition matchup against the Bears next Saturday afternoon.
