Bengals Tee Higgins ‘doubtful’ for AFC North showdown on Thursday Night Football

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - The Cincinnati Bengals released their final injury report Wednesday and left for the big AFC North showdown with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football.

The 4-5 team thrilled fans Sunday with their first home game win of the season, finishing 41-24 over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Quarterback Joe Burrow was awarded FedEx Air and Ground Player of Week 9. This is the second time this season fans honored Burrow, who’s completed 27-of-39 passes for 251 yards and five touchdowns.

But now the Bengals are likely to play one of their biggest games of the season without one of their top wide receivers.

Tee Higgins is listed as doubtful to play and appears likely to miss his third consecutive game.

Higgins has missed four out of the team’s nine games so far this season after being injured during practice.

He last suited for the Bengals 21-14 road win on Oct. 20 against the Cleveland Browns.

It does look like, however, the Bengals might be able to start left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. on Thursday night. He’s listed on the injury list as questionable after a knee/fibula injury.

Defensive tackle BJ Hill also is questionable due to a rib injury and return specialist Charlie Jones is doubtful because of a groin injury.
