Davis Mattek on Tee Higgins

Higgins uncertain to play; limited practice participation suggests cautious return

Tee Higgins' availability for this weekend is uncertain. Mattek initially indicated a chance Higgins could play, but later notes he doesn't think Higgins will play this weekend; if he does play, he should be started at flex, but if unavailable, Strange or Breylon Allen should be used instead. Higgins was seen in cleats but without helmet or jersey at practice, indicating limited participation or non-contact status, suggesting cautious return from injury. If both Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase are out, Dontayvion Meyers becomes the preferred flex play, indicating Higgins' role is significant to the Bengals' passing game.
