Tee Higgins

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Tee Higgins (quad) is inactive for Week 8 against the Eagles.

Higgins reportedly felt better on Saturday after suffering a quad injury during practice earlier in the week. The Bengals still decided to hold him out to ensure the issue doesn’t snowball into a lengthy absence for Higgins. Given his frustrating injury history, it’s a reasonable decision from the organization. Ja’Marr Chase will soak up all of the targets he can handle this week and Andrei Iosivas will step into a larger role once again. Iosivas only caught five passes when Higgins missed the first two games of the season. He did, however, score two touchdowns, both of which came in Week 2.
