Bengals' Tee Higgins (ribs) heading for game-time call Sunday
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (rib) will be listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, per head coach Zac Taylor.
What It Means:
Taylor said things are "positive" for Higgins, but the Bengals will likely make him a game-time call on Sunday. Higgins will slide back in as the second receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase and ahead of Tyler Boyd if he's cleared. Trenton Irwin and Andrei Iosivas will also revert to smaller roles. Higgins should be more efficient moving forward as Joe Burrow continues to get closer to full strength.
The Seahawks are allowing the third-most FanDuel points per game to opposing wideouts this season and their pass defense ranks 25th in numberFire's opponent-adjusted NEP model. Higgins was targeted 28 times over the first three games, but he only caught 10 of them and had a goose egg in Week 1.
