Will Tee Higgins play for the Bengals against the Commanders? Monday Night Football

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is set to return to action today, as the Ohioans take on the Washington CoMMAnders in a Monday Night Football clash at Paycor Stadium.

What injury did Tee Higgins have?

Higgins missed the Bengals’ first two games of the NFL season with a hamstring injury, but has returned to fitness and was a full participant in Cincinnati practice on Saturday.

Speaking on Friday, after managing limited practice sessions in midweek, the 25-year-old described himself as “ready” for his comeback. “Practice went really well,” he said, per Bengals.com’s Geoff Hobson. “Got in a lot of plays, so I felt good out there and I’m ready to go.”

In Higgins’ absence, the Bengals were defeated in both Week 1 and Week 2, going down 16-10 to the New England Patriots before a narrow, 26-25 loss to Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs.

Drafted from the Clemson Tigers in 2020, Higgins has made a total of 58 regular-season appearances for the Bengals, registering 257 receptions for 3,684 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns.

Who is on the Bengals’ injury report?

In their official injury report, Cincinnati have listed tight end Tanner Hudson and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins as out, with knee and hamstring injuries, respectively. Safety Von Bell (back) and defensive tackle Kris Jenkins (thumb) are questionable, and defensive tackle BJ Hill (hamstring) is doubtful.
