Bengals Injury Report: Shemar Stewart remains on track for his return, Tee Higgins not so much
Shemar Stewart and Tee Higgins remain the top subjects of Cincinnati’s injury report for Week 15.
The Cincinnati Bengals are just a few days away from their rematch against the Baltimore Ravens in NFL Week 15, and not much has changed for Cincinnati. That’s both good and bad news for a team on the ropes.
Let’s take a look at Thursday’s injury reports for both the Bengals and Ravens.
Bengals Thursday injury report
| Player | Injury | W/T/F | Designation |
| DE Trey Hendrickson | Hip/Pelvis | DNP/DNP | — |
| LB Shaka Heyward* | Fibula | Full/Full | — |
| WR Tee Higgins | Concussion | Limited/Limited | — |
| S PJ Jules | Ankle | DNP/DNP | — |
| DE Joseph Ossai | Shin | Full/Full | — |
| DE Shemar Stewart | Knee | Full/Full | — |
Observations
- Trey Hendrickson (hip/pelvis) was officially placed on the Reserve/Injured listed after undergoing core muscle surgery earlier in the week. He will remain on the injury report for this week only for clarification purposes.
- Shemar Stewart (knee), Joseph Ossai (shin), and Shaka Heyward (fibula) all went full again. Stewart was cleared to practice Wednesday after missing the last four games on I.R., and Heyward remains on I.R. as well. Both could be activated this week with two open spots on the active roster.
- Tee Higgins (concussion) went limited as he continues to go through the concussion protocol again. Thursday was the first and only full practice for the team this week, so his status for Sunday may very well be up in the air.
Ravens Thursday injury report
| Player | Injury | W/T/F | Designation |
| TE Mark Andrews | Glute | —/Limited | — |
| CB Chidobe Awuzie | Shoulder | DNP/Full | — |
| WR Rashod Bateman | Ankle | —/Limited | — |
| QB Lamar Jackson | NIR — Rest | DNP/Full | — |
| RB Keaton Mitchell | Knee | Limited/Full | — |
| OLB Tavius Robinson | Foot | Limited/Full | — |
| S Ar’Darius Washington | Achilles | Full/Full | — |
| CB Nate Wiggins | Foot | Limited/Full | — |
Observations
- Lamar Jackson (rest) returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday with a rest day. Jackson has played in Baltimore’s last six games despite minimal practice time since coming back from a hamstring injury.
- Mark Andrews (glute) and Rashod Bateman (ankle) were each limited with new injuries after not being listed on Wednesday’s injury report. These will be the main injuries to note for Friday.
- Chidobe Awuzie (shoulder), who played for Cincinnati from 2021-23, also went full after missing Wednesday.
- Keaton Mitchell (knee) went full along with Tavius Robinson (foot) and Nate Wiggins (foot). All three were limited Wednesday, so they’re on track to playing Sunday.
