Cincinnati Bengals Injury Report
Joe Burrow, QB
Joe Burrow (right wrist/left biceps) fully practiced all week and is good to go for Sunday Night Football.
Tee Higgins, WR
Tee Higgins, who has missed three straight games after injuring his quad, is expected to return for the Bengals’ Sunday night showdown against the Chargers. Head coach Zach Taylor said Friday that Higgins — who is no longer listed on Cincinnati’s injury report — will be ready to play in Week 11.
Higgins was limited for every Bengals practice this week. Those were the fifth-year pro’s first sessions since going down on the Friday before Week 8.
Higgins participated in Wednesday’s walkthrough to some degree. Following that with a second consecutive practice on Thursday was a promising indication of his availability.
The former second-round pick also missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury. Higgins has 29 catches for 341 yards in 2024 and is set to enter free agency this offseason after playing on the franchise tag.

Los Angeles Chargers Injury Report
J.K. Dobbins, RB
J.K. Dobbins was a DNP on Thursday’s injury report, but he was sidelined due to personal reasons. His status is not in jeopardy for Sunday night.
Gus Edwards, RB
Gus Edwards returned from a four-game ankle injury absence in Week 10. This week, he was limited on Wednesday and Thursday while dealing with that same ankle injury.
Fortnmayteluy, Edwards was upgraded to a full practice on Friday and removed from the Chargers’ injury report.
Edwards only handled 15 snaps in Week 10 but received 10 carries. We’ll need more of a sample size to determine whether Edwards will truly cut into J.K. Dobbins’ fantasy appeal. Dobbins took 15 carries and got three targets on Sunday, while Edwards (as usual) wasn’t involved in the passing game.
