The Cincinnati Bengals have a tough road test this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints as they look to keep pace in the AFC North. However, as quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase return to the Superdome where they won the 2019 National Championship with LSU, they will have a big reinforcement with them.
Tee Higgins, the Bengals' no. 2 option in the passing game, was listed as questionable with an ankle injury. After going through warm-ups, Higgins will play against the Saints despite some discomfort lingering.
Higgins tried to play on his ankle last week against the Baltimore Ravens but left the game after just 10 snaps. So, although he's active, the Bengals will certainly keep a close eye on Higgins who has over 200 yards in the last two full games he's played in.
The Bengals will be without several guys as well, unfortunately. Cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt, who had his 21-day practice window started last week after dealing with an abdominal injury, Taylor-Britt has been listed as inactive, meaning his NFL debut is still on hold.
Offensive Tackle D'Ante Smith and guard Jackson Carman, both taken in the 2021 draft, will miss Sunday's game. The former has only appeared in three games since he was drafted, and the latter made 17 starts last season, but just two so far in 2022.
Lastly, running back Trayveon Williams is also out. The sixth-round pick in 2019 has 208 rushing yards in 26 career games.
