Coach Zac Taylor revealed that Higgins experienced concussion-like symptoms Sunday night and Monday morning, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a result, Higgins is back in the NFL's concussion protocol, which clouds the wideout's status for the Bengals' Dec. 14 contest against the Ravens. After sustaining a concussion Nov. 23, Higgins was inactive for Cincinnati's Thanksgiving Day contest against Baltimore. He then gained clearance to play in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills, en route to logging a 73 percent snap share and catching six of his 11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns. If Higgins ends up sidelined this weekend, Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley would be in line to see added Week 15 snaps behind top WR Ja'Marr Chase.

Higgins brought in six of 11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins' return from a one-game absence due to a concussion was memorable, as the veteran wideout led the way for the Bengals in receiving yards, targets and touchdown receptions on the day while also tying for the team lead in catches. Higgins had a couple of injury scares during the contest, including one that involved a concussion check after his helmet snapped against the turf on a catch attempt, per Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer. However, Higgins made it back to the field on both occasions and posted his third-highest yardage total of the campaign while recording picturesque 21- and 25-yard scoring grabs. Sunday also marked Higgins' first opportunity to work with Joe Burrow since Week 2, as the wideout missed the quarterback's Thanksgiving return against the Ravens, and the duo will look to keep clicking in a Week 15 divisional home showdown against the Ravens next Sunday.

Higgins said Friday that he cleared the concussion protocol and is "full go" for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins sustained a concussion Week 12 against the Patriots and sat out a Thanksgiving matchup with the Ravens on a short week, but his ability to progress from limited Wednesday to full Thursday signaled his progress through the protocol for head injuries. Now that he's spoken to the media, it's clear he gained clearance from an independent neurologist and will be available this weekend, when he'll be working with QB Joe Burrow for the first time since Week 2.

Higgins (concussion) logged a full practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins, who was inactive in Week 13, was limited Wednesday, but the wideout's full listing a day later is indicative of him making progress through the NFL's concussion protocol. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Higgins carries a designation for Sunday's game against the Bills or is fully cleared to return to the lineup this weekend.

Coach Zac Taylor said Higgins has made progress through the concussion protocol and will be limited at Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

One day after sustaining a concussion during a Week 12 loss to the Patriots, Taylor ruled out Higgins for a Thanksgiving matchup against the Ravens with a short week of prep on tap. Now 10 days removed from the play in question, Higgins is mixing back into drills, but he'll need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday at Buffalo. If he's able to do so, Higgins will team back up with fellow WR Ja'Marr Chase for the first time since Week 11 and with QB Joe Burrow for the first time since Week 2.

Higgins remains in the league's concussion protocol Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins was concussed eight days ago in the Bengals' Week 12 loss to the Patriots and missed last Thursday night's win over the Ravens. He has six more days to get ready for next Sunday's game against the Bills. If Higgins can't get cleared, Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley should again see increased reps alongside Ja'Marr Chase.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Higgins (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins sustained a concussion late in Sunday's loss to the Patriots after smacking the back of his head on the turf while attempting to make a leaping catch. With Higgins out and Ja'Marr Chase set to return from his one-game suspension, the Bengals likely will trot out a wideout group of Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones versus Baltimore. Higgins then will have 10 more days to heal up ahead of a Week 14 date with the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Higgins won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots after sustaining a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to being carted off the field, Higgins caught five of his six targets for 31 yards. With Ja'Marr Chase (suspension) unavailable, the Bengals' WR depth is being put to the test as Sunday's game winds down. Higgins will now look to gain medical clearance ahead of Thursday's contest against the Ravens.

Higgins caught three of eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins capped Cincinnati's first possession with a 28-yard touchdown catch, but that was his only target of the first half. He was busier after halftime and finished as the team leader in receiving yards, while no teammate had more than 36 receiving yards in a rare off day for Cincinnati's passing game. Higgins extended his touchdown streak to four games (five touchdowns) ahead of a Week 12 home game against the Patriots.

Higgins secured seven of nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals' 47-42 loss to the Bears on Sunday. He also recorded a two-point conversion catch.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins was the star of the first three quarters for the Bengals, making a picturesque contested 44-yard touchdown grab along the left sideline with under two minutes remaining in the first half before tacking on a two-yard scoring catch with just over five minutes left in the third quarter. Higgins added his two-point conversion reception following a Noah Fant 23-yard TD catch with under two minutes remaining, and the former has now visited the end zone four times in the last three games. Higgins also has at least 62 receiving yards in three of the last four contests, affording him plenty of momentum going into Cincinnati's Week 10 bye.
