In what is sure to be exciting news for Cincinnati Bengals fans, star quarterback Joe Burrow will finally have his full arsenal of wide receivers available as they take on the Washington Commanders on Monday night. The return of WR Tee Higgins, who missed the first two games of the season due to a hamstring injury, will give Burrow an added dimension in the passing game.
“That’s my plan,” Higgins declared confidently on Friday, as reported by the team’s official website. “Practice went really well. Got in a lot of plays, so I felt good out there.”
Higgins has been a key player for the Bengals in recent seasons, showcasing his skills as a big-bodied receiver who poses a challenge for any defensive back. With back-to-back 1,000-yard plus seasons in his second and third years in the league, Higgins has proven to be a valuable asset for Cincinnati, particularly in their recent playoff runs.
The connection between Higgins and Burrow, which has been notably successful in the past, will be reignited after a hiatus since Week 9 of last season. Burrow’s season-ending wrist injury in 2023 put a halt to their on-field chemistry, but Higgins remains confident that they will pick up right where they left off.
The anticipation is high for Bengals fans as they eagerly await the return of this dynamic duo on Monday night. With Higgins back in the lineup, Burrow will have another weapon at his disposal as Cincinnati looks to continue their strong start to the season.
