Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Higgins (hamstring) is moving in a positive direction for Week 3 and could benefit from the extra day of rest to prepare for Monday Night Football versus the Commanders, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Higgins has missed two consecutive games due to a lingering hamstring injury, and his last practice session was Thursday of Week 1. Andrei Iosivas scored twice Week 2 in Higgins' absence and has emerged as an option in the Bengals' receiving corps behind Ja'Marr Chase. The Bengals' first official injury report of Week 3 won't arrive until Thursday, so fantasy managers aren't guaranteed another update on Higgins' health until then.

Higgins (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday at Kansas City.
Analysis
Higgins hasn't practiced since Thursday of Week 1 and thus will miss a second consecutive contest to begin the campaign due to a hamstring injury. With Higgins out, the Bengals' passing game again will center around Ja'Marr Chase, while WRs Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin, RBs Zack Moss and Chase Brown and TE Mike Gesicki also will be on hand for QB Joe Burrow.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Friday that Higgins (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer and Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic report.
Analysis
Higgins, who was unable to practice this week, thus is trending toward missing his second game in a row. Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin are expected to see expanded snaps alongside top wideout Ja'Marr Chase in Week 2.

Higgins (hamstring) wasn't in uniform for Friday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Higgins didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, either, and this report doesn't bode well for the wideout's chances of playing Sunday against the Chiefs. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Higgins has any chance of suiting up this weekend, but if he's unavailable, Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin would be in line see expanded roles at receiver alongside top option Ja'Marr Chase.

Higgins (hamstring) is not uniform for Thursday's practice, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis
With Higgins not having practiced Wednesday either, the wideout's status for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs is uncertain. Friday's injury report will provide added context with regard to his Week 2 status, but if Higgins remains sidelined this Sunday, Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin would see expanded roles at receiver alongside Ja'Marr Chase.

Higgins (hamstring) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis
Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, head coach Zac Taylor noted earlier Wednesday that Higgins is making progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, but it didn't translate to the wideout taking reps in the Bengals' first Week 2 practice. The Bengals are still viewing Higgins as day-to-day, but he'll need to get back on the practice field in some capacity Thursday and/or Friday to have a shot at avoiding a second straight missed game Sunday versus the Chiefs.

Head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Higgins is making progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Taylor labeled Higgins as day-to-day as Sunday's game against the Chiefs approaches. A clearer picture of Higgins' availability for the Week 2 contest should arrive based on the extent of his participation in practices Wednesday through Friday.

Higgins (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
Analysis
After being added to the Bengals' injury report Thursday as limited with a hamstring issue, Higgins didn't practice Friday and was deemed doubtful for Sunday's contest. With Higgins unavailable, some combination of Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Charlie Jones and Jermaine Burton are positioned to see added work versus New England alongside Ja'Marr Chase (illness), who is listed as active but figures to have his Week 1 workload somewhat limited. Higgins will target a potential return to action Sept. 15 against the Chiefs.

Higgins (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
Analysis
Higgins made an appearance on the Bengals' Week 1 injury report Thursday as limited due to a hamstring issue, which didn't allow him to practice at all Friday, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Coach Zac Taylor told Geoff Hobson of the team's official site, "We'll see," when asked about the status of Higgins and fellow WR Ja'Marr Chase (non-injury related/rest) for Sunday's contest. With Higgins unlikely to suit up and Chase listed as questionable, there's a chance QB Joe Burrow will be without his top two options at the position this weekend. In such a scenario, Andrei Iosivas and rookie Jermaine Burton would be thrust into larger roles in Cincinnati's offense.
