Tight end Tanner Hudson also suffered a knee injury in Sunday’s 16-10 season-opening loss to the New England Patriots and did not practice today.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor mentioned Hudson without being asked specifically about him during his news conference 30 minutes before practice started. Taylor did not mention Wilson.
Also sitting out was rookie defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, who had surgery on his right thumb Friday.
Taylor said after Friday’s practice that the belief was Jenkins could play quickly after surgery with a heavy wrap on his right hand and that he couldn’t rule out Jenkins returning in time for Sunday’s game at Kansas City.
For Higgins, it’s the second consecutive practice he’s missed since injuring his hamstring in practice Thursday.
Higgins’ status for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs is unclear, as Taylor said the team would takes things day to day with him.

“There are a couple of guys we’ll keep managing through the week,” Taylor said.
Jenkins and Higgins were two of the six players working on the side field today with director of rehab Nick Cosgray.
The other four — cornerback DJ Ivey II, punter Brad Robbins, defensive end Myles Murphy, and defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson — are on injured reserve and are not eligible to play until at least Week 5.
The Bengals continue to list quarterback Joe Burrow on the injury report due to his right wrist, but he’s been a full participant in all four practices.
Rookie offensive tackle Amarius Mims went limited again due to the pectoral injury he suffered in the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
And defensive tackle B.J. Hill was limited with a knee injury that forced him to come out for a play in Sunday’s loss.
“Just a little nick” he said after the game. “I’m good. I’m a tough old guy.”
