Bengals injury report: Tee Higgins questionable, Orlando Brown Jr. and Geno Stone expected to play.
Why it matters: The availability of key players can significantly impact the outcome of a game and the team's overall performance.
What's new: Wide receiver Tee Higgins is listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a quadricep injury. His status will be determined closer to game day.
Yes, but: Despite his injury concerns, Higgins has been productive in recent games, consistently recording 75 or more receiving yards.
- Higgins' presence on the field adds depth to the Bengals' receiving corps and provides another target for quarterback Joe Burrow.
What to watch: Keep an eye on Higgins' practice participation throughout the week, as it will provide further insight into his potential availability for the game.
Why it matters: Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. and safety Geno Stone, both starters for the Bengals, are expected to play in Week 8 despite being limited in practice earlier in the week.
The bottom line: The Bengals' offensive line will benefit from having Brown at full strength.
- Brown, who signed a lucrative free-agent deal, has been performing exceptionally well this season and leads all tackles in pass block win rate.
By the numbers: Brown has started 32 consecutive games and has missed only one regular-season game in his seven-year career.
Our thought bubble: Brown's reliability and durability make him a valuable asset for the Bengals' offense.
