Report: Tee Higgins Expected to Play Against Seahawks, Despite Dealing With Fractured Rib

In this story:
CINCINNATI — Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is expected to play on Sunday against the Seahawks according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
The 24-year-old is dealing with a fractured rib. He missed Cincinnati's Week 5 win over Arizona, but participated in all three practices leading up to Sunday's showdown with Seattle.
"Itching to play," Higgins said on Thursday.
He doesn't plan on wearing any extra protection around his ribs. He believes it would impact his movement.
It's unclear if he'll play a full allotment of snaps, but having him on the field is a major positive for the Bengals' offense.
