Why isn't Tee Higgins playing for the Bengals vs the Ravens in Week 10 Thursday Night Football?

Wide receiver Tee Higgins has been ruled out for the Bengals’ Thursday Night Football clash with the Baltimore Ravens today, having already missed Cincinnati’s last two Games with a quadriceps injury.

Higgins has been unable to take part in Bengals practice since picking up the issue in the Ohioans’ Week 7 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

“We’ll see,” Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters earlier this week, when asked whether Higgins and fellow injury doubt Orlando Brown (knee) will be fit to face the Ravens in Maryland. “We are limited with our field work, but both those guys have the right attitude about it. Step one is they both want to do it, and now we’ll put them through everything we can in the next couple of days to see where they can help us.”

Higgins also sat out the Bengals’ first two games of the 2024 season with a hamstring injury, before returning to the team in Weeks 3 to 7. In his five appearances this term - which have included three starts - the 25-year-old has registered 29 receptions for 341 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
