What Happened to Tee Higgins? NFL Injury Update

As teams approach the much-awaited commencement of their NFL campaigns, there are certain rosters that have yet to be finalized. One such side is the Cincinnati Bengals, who still have multiple names on their injury list. While Joe Burrow was reported to have been a full participant on Thursday, the same update cannot be given for Tee Higgins, who is currently sidelined with an injury. But, what actually happened to the Bengals’ wide receiver?

Here are all the available updates regarding Tee Higgins’ injury, including his estimated return.

What injury is Tee Higgins suffering from?

The 25-year-old football player is presently recovering from a hamstring issue.

Consequently, the fourth-year Bengals player was listed as a limited participant following Thursday’s practice session. Updates regarding the intensity of Higgins’ hamstring injury have yet to be disclosed by his side. Nevertheless, the decision to keep him under observation appears more to be a cautious step than a needed one, according to Cincy Jungle.

Prior to his hamstring injury, Tee Higgins played an impactful role in his side’s 2023 campaign. He recorded 42 receptions in 12 games for 656 yards, with a competitive average of 15.6 yards per catch, as per the Bengals’ official website.

Will Tee Higgins return to play with the Cincinnati Bengals?

At the time of writing, it remains unknown if the 2020 draft pick will be back in time for the Bengals season opener against New England Patriots.

While official details about his fitness are scarce, Higgins has reassured his fans that he is fine physically. “It’s definitely the best I’ve felt going into Week 1. I’m physically fine and mentally ready. I’m just ready to get out there,” Higgins said. “I feel amazing. I’m just ready to go,” he added. (via The Sporting News)

Despite his encouraging comments, Cincinnati have yet to officially confirm his availability for their upcoming bout against the Patriots. As such, his current game status remains unspecified per the Bengals’ injury report.
