Higgins (ribs), officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Seahawks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins missed the Bengals' Week 5 win with the injury, but he turned in a pair of limited practices this week before logging a full session Friday. Things appear to be trending in the right direction, but Higgins' status won't become official until 90 minutes before the 1:00 ET kickoff on Sunday.

The Bengals list Higgins (ribs) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after he practiced fully Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins' full practice session was his first since he fractured a rib in the Bengals' Oct. 1 loss to the Titans. He sat out last week's win over Arizona but looks to be trending in the right direction for Sunday after turning in a pair of limited practices this week in addition to the full session Friday. Per Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site, head coach Zac Taylor described Higgins as a game-time call for Sunday's contest, so fantasy managers will still want to verify the wideout's availability when Cincinnati releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Higgins (ribs) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks and is viewed as a game-time call for the contest, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, coach Zac Taylor indicated that things appear "positive" regarding Higgins' status, but it looks like the team will wait until Sunday before making a final call on the wideout's availability. Fortunately for those considering Higgins in Week 6 fantasy lineups, the Bengals face the Seahawks at 1:00 ET on Sunday.

Higgins (ribs) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins, who was forced out of the Bengals' Week 4 loss to the Titans with a rib fracture and was then inactive for the team's Week 5 win over Arizona, has now logged consecutive practices ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Higgins said Thursday that it's looking "promising" for him to play against Seattle, but unless the wideout practices fully Friday, he'll likely draw an injury designation.

Higgins (rib) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins, who was forced out of the Bengals' Week 4 loss to Tennessee with a rib fracture, was able to log a limited practice session this past Friday before sitting out Sunday's win over the Cardinals. With another limited session to start the current practice week, Higgins seems to have a chance to return to action this Sunday against the Seahawks. The wideout will, however, need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid a Week 6 injury designation.

Higgins (rib) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins was forced out of last weekend's game against the Titans due to a rib fracture, and though the wideout was able to log a limited practice session Friday, he'll sit this one out. In his absence Sunday, Tyler Boyd figures to see added opportunities alongside top WR Ja'Marr Chase, with Trenton Irwin a candidate to serve as the team's No. 3 WR and Andrei Iosivas and Kwamie Lassiter on hand in reserve. Higgins' next chance to suit up will arrive next weekend against the Seahawks, though it's possible that the Bengals could consider holding him out again, given that the team is on bye Week 7.

Higgins (ribs) remains listed as questionable but isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins looks poised to miss at least one game due to a rib fracture suffered in the Week 4 loss to the Titans. His availability, or lack thereof, should be made official roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, when Cincinnati releases its inactive list. If Higgins indeed can't go, Tyler Boyd will stand to step into the No. 2 wideout role alongside Ja'Marr Chase, while Trenton Irwin will likely operate as the No. 3 man.

Higgins (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins was forced out of Week 4 action at Tennessee due to what was eventually termed a rib fracture. Coach Zac Taylor called Higgins day-to-day afterward, per Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site, and the wide receiver was only able to muster one limited session (Friday) this week. The Bengals kick off Sunday's game at 4:05 p.m. ET, meaning Higgins' availability will be unveiled about 90 minutes prior. If Higgins is not 100 percent or out this weekend, Tyler Boyd stands to benefit most alongside Ja'Marr Chase, with Trenton Irwin likely taking on extra snaps as a fill-in No. 3 receiver.

Higgins (rib) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins, who is dealing with a fractured rib, also missed Wednesday's practice, so what he's able to do Friday, if anything, will be telling with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Cardinals. Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Higgins suggested this past Monday that he could potentially play through his rib issue, noting, "Really, it's just up to me. Pain-wise, I might be able to go this week. I might not. You never know." If Higgins is limited or out this weekend, however, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site suggests that Tyler Boyd could log added outside WR snaps Week 5.

Higgins (rib) won't practice Wednesday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Hobson, coach Zac Taylor indicated that Higgins is viewed as day-to-day as Sunday's game against the Cardinals approaches. Meanwhile, Ben Baby of ESPN previously relayed that the wideout may be able to play through his fractured rib this weekend. "Really, it's just up to me," Higgins acknowledged Monday regarding his Week 5 status. "Pain-wise, I might be able to go this week. I might not. You never know." If Higgins is out or limited versus Arizona, however, Trenton Irwin and Andrei Iosivas would be candidates to see added WR snaps behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd.
