Higgins (shoulder) is participating at Friday's practice, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins was a limited participant at practices Wednesday and Thursday, and it's a good sign to see him on the field again Friday. The 22-year-old has missed the past two games with the shoulder injury but appears on track to return to action Sunday against the Packers, though it's unclear whether or not he'll avoid taking a questionable tag into the contest.
