Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was a staple of the injury report all week before his team takes on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15.
Higgins re-entered concussion protocol to start the week, but practiced on a limited basis in batches, giving a little hope that he would be able to go against the Ravens.

Those Bengals have a chance to keep slim playoff hopes alive with an upset of the visiting Ravens at Paycor Stadium. If not, they will be mathematically eliminated.
Here’s the latest on Higgins.
Tee Higgins injury updates
The Bengals declared Higgins as out on the final injury report.
Higgins self-reported concussion symptoms and entered protocol after the loss to the Bills last week. He left the game against the Bills multiple times for concussion checks.
Higgins missed Week 13 while in concussion protocol.

When will Tee Higgins return?

Bengals WR depth chart
No more Jermaine Burton in Cincinnati (or anywhere), so the Bengals have just five players on the 53. Jordan Moore, Xavier Johnson and Kendric Pryor are on the practice squad and available. But Iosivas and Tinsley are the most likely to get major reps with Higgins out.
