Tee Higgins

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports “there’s optimism” Tee Higgins (ankle/knee, questionable) will play in Week 17 against the Broncos.

According to Fowler, Higgins “improved every day in practice” before drawing a questionable tag on Thursday’s final injury report. The Bengals need all hands on deck as they continue to fight for what little playoff hopes they have left. Higgins played through an ankle injury that he suffered late in last week’s win over the Browns, and would profile as a WR2 against the Broncos if he’s able to suit up.
