CINCINNATI — Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is expected to play on Saturday against the Broncos on Saturday according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

This aligns with what Jeremy Fowler reported on Friday afternoon.

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 a must-win 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.

Higgins is 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. Higgins is set to become a free agent in March and is playing on the franchise tag this season.

With the #Bengals season on the line, they are expected to have WR Tee Higgins on the field against the #Broncos, sources say. He’s questionable with ankle and knee issues.
