Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins struggled to find a rhythm during the first half against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coming off a quiet Week 1 performance where he caught three passes for 33 yards, Higgins is having another slow day at the office, concerning fans and fantasy managers.
Is Tee Higgins Playing?
Despite his injury history, Higgins is playing and was not on the injury report heading into the game.
Complicating matters for Higgins, starting quarterback Joe Burrow left the game with a toe injury midway through the second quarter after a sack, leaving his return questionable. Backup Jake Browning stepped in, but hasn’t been able to recreate the connection Burrow had with Higgins.
Joe Burrow can’t even walk, he needs to people by his side just to get to the locker room 💔
Yeah, this is a horrible sign for Bengals fans, this isn’t good at all.

Burrow’s injury and Browning’s unexpected entry at quarterback have clearly impacted Higgins’ production on the field.
