Bengals vs Eagles Friday Injury Report
Wide receiver Tee Higgins (quadricep) was limited Friday and is officially questionable to play Sunday. Higgins likely suffered the injury during practice.
This is far from the first soft tissue injury of Higgins' career. The most recent happened right before Week 1 when he tweaked his hamstring. He ended up missing the first two games of the year.
A quad and hammy aren't the same thing, but with Higgins' injury history, it wouldn't be surprising in the slightest for the Bengals to sit him out this weekend. Higgins is also playing on the franchise tag, so it would be wise of him to rest until he's fully healthy and not risk making it worse.
Everyone else on the roster was a full participant Friday including free safety Geno Stone (shin), who returned to practice Thursday, and left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee), who started out the week limited. Head coach Zac Taylor said both players will be good to go Sunday.
Philadelphia declared three players out Friday. Right guard Mekhi Becton (concussion), tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring), and defensive tackle Byron Young (hamstring) will miss Sunday's game. Everyone else is good to go including linebacker Zack Baun (shoulder), tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (abdomen), cornerback Eli Ricks (groin), and wide receiver Ainias Smith (ankle).
