Bengals WR Tee Higgins limited in return to practice after missing time with hamstring injury
Higgins' injury has caused him to miss the Bengals' first two games
Tee Higgins was on the field for Thursday's practice with the Cincinnati Bengals, but in a limited capacity.
It was a positive sign for the 0-2 Bengals, who have not had their No. 2 receiver this season as he deals with a nagging hamstring injury.
Higgins did take part in pre-game warmups Sunday before the Bengals' 26-25 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, which prompted head coach Zac Taylor to say things were "trending in a positive direction."
Higgins had not taken part in a practice since Sept. 5. Taylor said Thursday they will "see where it goes" after practice with the hope Higgins will be able to play Monday against the Washington Commanders.
“Tee is — just as simple as he’s a top player in this league,” Taylor said. “That makes every personnel grouping better when he’s in it. So, him and Ja’Marr, obviously two guys that draw a lot of attention singularly. So when you have them on the field together, it’s certainly good assets to have.”
After tallying at least 908 yards and six touchdowns in each of his first three NFL seasons, Higgins posted 42 catches for 656 yards and five touchdowns while playing in 12 games in 2023.
