The Cincinnati Bengals provided a wave of injury updates on key names before the team plays the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. Most notably, the Bengals listed Tee Higgins as questionable on the final injury report, which means he has a chance to clear concussion protocol and play after missing last week.
The news looks good for Tee Higgins to return to the field and play in Week 16 for the Bengals. Higgins was a limited participant in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, but on Friday, he was upgraded to a full participant. That means likely a positive final step through concussion protocol and a chance to play on Sunday.
