Bengals news: Tee Higgins update, Joe Burrow at the card table and breakout rookies

The Cincinnati Bengals returned to work on Thursday ahead of Monday’s primetime game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

With their return to normalcy came a mini-avalanche of news relating to the health of Tee Higgins, breakout rookies and quite a bit more.

Also with the team was a guy by the name of Joe Burrow, sporting a sling on his surgically repaired wrist and an eagerness to throw down with some teammates at the card table.

Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 1.
