Tee Higgins has been essential for the Cincinnati Bengals’ winning streak that helped them back into postseason contention.
They might have to finish Saturday’s Week 18 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers without the wide receiver, who is questionable to return with an ankle injury. The fifth-year player, set to be a free agent at the conclusion of this season, had four catches for 53 yards as Cincinnati carried a two-possession lead early in the fourth quarter.
A hamstring injury cost Higgins, who’s playing this season on the franchise tag, the first two games of the season, and a quad ailment forced him to sit out three games during the middle of the campaign.
Since returning from that injury (five games), Higgins has 40 catches for 517 yards and seven touchdowns, including three scores last Saturday against the Denver Broncos.
