What Happened to Tee Higgins? NFL Injury Update

by

As a die-hard fan of the Cincinnati Bengals and someone who has weathered countless seasons of heartbreak and triumph with this team, I can’t help but feel a pang of concern seeing Tee Higgins on the injury list yet again. The guy is an integral part of our offense, and his absence would undoubtedly be felt against the Patriots in Week 1.

As NFL teams prepare for their upcoming seasons, some rosters remain in flux. One such team is the Cincinnati Bengals, who have several players on their injury list. While Joe Burrow was reported as a full practice participant on Thursday, the same cannot be said for Tee Higgins, who is currently out due to an injury. However, let’s delve into what caused the setback for Bengals’ wide receiver Tee Higgins.

Here are all the available updates regarding Tee Higgins’ injury, including his estimated return.

What injury is Tee Higgins suffering from?

The 25-year-old football player is presently recovering from a hamstring issue.

Subsequently, during Thursday’s training session, the fourth-year player for the Bengals was labeled as having a limited participation. At this point, no details about the severity of Higgins’ hamstring injury have been shared by his team. However, it seems that keeping him under observation is more precautionary than essential, according to Cincy Jungle’s assessment.

Before suffering a hamstring injury, Tee Higgins played a significant part in his team’s 2023 season campaign. According to the Bengals’ official site, he managed 42 receptions in just 12 games, accumulating 656 yards with an impressive average of 15.6 yards per catch.

Will Tee Higgins return to play with the Cincinnati Bengals?

As I’m typing this, it’s still unclear whether our 2020 draft choice will make it back for the Bengals’ first game of the season versus the New England Patriots.

Despite limited information about his health, Higgins has comforted his followers by confirming that he is in good physical condition. In his own words, “I’ve never felt better as we kick off Week 1. I’m physically fit and mentally prepared. I’m just raring to get on the field,” he stated. He further emphasized, “I feel fantastic. I can’t wait to play.” (The Sporting News)

Although he’s been praised by teammates, it hasn’t been made clear if Cincinnati will actually field him in their upcoming match with the Patriots. Consequently, his exact playing status, according to the Bengals’ injury update, is still unknown.
