Tee Higgins on his return: "I'm very excited [to] get back out there with the guys... Not being able to contribute to help get a win, it sucks. So I'm very excited to go out there and fight."
Zac Taylor on Higgins' recovery: "Anything you saw in practice with him doing rehab, doing individual stuff was all stuff we had coordinated all week to make sure that he was in a great spot. And right now, we're in a great spot."
Tee Higgins on his expectations: "Hopefully all the injury stuff is behind me, I'm healthy for the rest of the season, and we can go and try to make that run that we think we can do."

The bottom line: The return of Tee Higgins provides a major boost to the Bengals' offense and gives them another dynamic playmaker on the field. With his return and the continued development of Joe Burrow, the Bengals' passing attack becomes even more potent.
