It has been just that kind of year for the Cincinnati Bengals, once again, where the offseason promised so much but the games have delivered so little. Starting with the turf toe injury to Joe Burrow, the Bengals have gone on a downhill trajectory, with the defense being the major culprit. <\/p>
Now, however, Cincinnati will be facing its divisional rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, in the third game of the NFL’s<\/a> ‘Thanksgiving Day’ <\/em>games without wide receiver Tee Higgins, one of its essential pieces on offense. <\/p> Bengals’ WR2 Tee Higgins suffered a concussion during their Week 11 game against the New England Patriots<\/a> and is currently under the league’s concussion protocol. The incident occurred with less than 5 minutes left in the game as Higgins tried to snag a one-handed catch but fell hard on his back, slamming the back of his head on the turf. <\/p> Patriots’ cornerback Carlton Davis III was draped all over Higgins, and as the two collided, the Bengals<\/a> receiver had no chance to brace himself for the severe impact. Higgins was later escorted off the ground on a cart, with his head held between his hands. <\/p>Tee Higgins Injury Update<\/h2>
