CINCINNATI — Tee Higgins is eager to get back on the field with a "plan" to play on Monday following back-to-back practices with the Bengals.

The star wide receiver has missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury, but said to the media on Friday that he feels "100%."

"You never want to rush your hamstring," Higgins said. "Those are really serious injuries, and you know what they say? Once you feel good, you want to take another week. So obviously y'all see me working out pregame versus the Chiefs, felt pretty good, but just to be cautious I wanted to give it another week and be ready for this business."

Higgins gives Cincinnati a fully loaded cadre of weapons on Monday night against a Washington defense that has been arguably the worst in the NFL through the air this season.

"Was just something that I felt," Higgins said about the flare-up a couple of weeks ago. "And I let the trainers know, and obviously they wanted to get a look at it, and it was worse than what I thought it was."
