Sad News: Tee Higgins’ Injury Update Raises Concerns About Week 2 Against Chiefs and Future Games

The Bengals‘ offense struggled in their loss to the Patriots on Sunday, partly due to star wide receiver Tee Higgins being sidelined with a hamstring injury he sustained during last Thursday’s practice.

Will Higgins be back for Week 2 against the Chiefs? According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it doesn’t look promising. Schefter mentioned on the Pat McAfee Show that he would be “surprised” if Higgins is able to play this week, which would be a significant setback for the Bengals. They managed just 164 passing yards in their defeat to New England.

This situation is also disappointing for Higgins, whose 2023 season has been plagued by injuries and uncertainty surrounding his future, especially with him potentially entering unrestricted free agency next year.

While Ja’Marr Chase could benefit from a full week of practice after his limited participation last week due to a hold-in, the Bengals will need Higgins on the field to maximize their offensive potential.

Here’s hoping Higgins can make enough progress in his recovery to be available for the game at Arrowhead.
