The focus for the Cincinnati Bengals final injury report all before the Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles focused on the health of Orlando Brown Jr. in front of Joe Burrow.
Tee Higgins, star wide receiver, entered the conversation on the final report.
In fact, Higgins is the only name listed on Cincinnati’s final injury report. Higgins suffered a quad injury and was limited in practice on Friday, with the team needing to list him as questionable for the game against the Eagles.
While the team will monitor Higgins’ status over the weekend, losing him would be a crushing blow for Burrow’s offense. The franchise-tagged wideout has appeared in just five games this season but has been the obvious catalyst for the unit turning things around over the last few weeks.
If Higgins can’t go, Andrei Iosivas and rookie Jermaine Burton would be asked to pick up some of the slack alongside Ja’Marr Chase.
