CINCINNATI — One of Cincinnati's top wide receivers is eyeing his season debut. Bengals wideout Tee Higgins said that he is planning on playing against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.
Higgins, who has missed the first two games with a hamstring injury, said that he feels 100% healthy and he should be able to play at full strength. «I feel great,» Higgins said after Friday's practice. «Obviously, unfortunate with the injury, sat out the first two weeks but finally ready to get my feet wet this season and ready to go.» He felt good going through warmups before last week's game against Kansas City.
However, he wanted to be cautious so he can operate at a full workload whenever he stepped onto the field. Higgins has been limited at practice throughout this week, including Friday's practice.
However, the fifth-year receiver noted that the prep for Washington (1-1) has gone well and he has gotten enough plays to feel good and be ready for the primetime performance.
