CINCINNATI — Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins continues to improve and is expected to play on Saturday against the Broncos according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Higgins hurt his ankle in Cincinnati's Week 16 win over Cleveland. He took a few plays off before returning to the game. He's officially listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Broncos after being limited in practice this week.

The 25-year-old has 58 receptions for 727 yards and seven touchdowns in 10 games this season. He's averaging 72.7 yards-per-game, which would be the second most of his career. He averaged 77.9 yards-per-game in 2021.

The Bengals need to beat the Broncos on Saturday to keep their slim playoff chances alive.

#Bengals WR Tee Higgins (questionable, ankle/knee) improved every day in practice and there's optimism he can play Sat. vs. #Broncos, barring new development, per sources.
