Higgins (concussion), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins has reportedly progressed through the concussion protocol in time to earn clearance for Week 2, barring any pregame setbacks. The Bengals will make his status official roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Higgins secured both of his targets for 27 yards versus the Steelers in Week 1 before leaving the field.

Higgins (concussion/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins sustained a concussion during the Bengals' season-opening loss to the Steelers. Week 2 prep has included a limited session Wednesday, no practice Thursday due to personal reasons and a full listing Friday. Higgins has nearly completed his quest through the NFL's protocol for head injuries, but his status may not be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Higgins (personal) returned to practice Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bengals' looming Week 2 injury report will clarify whether Higgins, who missed Thursday's practice for personal reasons, was a limited or full participant, but the wideout still needs to progress through the NFL's concussion protocol in order to be cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Higgins (personal) won't practice Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The wideout, who is in the NFL's concussion protocol, was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, but he'll miss Thursday's session for personal reasons. Look for added clarity with regard to Higgins' status for Sunday's game against the Cowboys to arrive once the Bengals' Friday injury report is posted.

Head coach Zac Taylor said Higgins is making good progress through the NFL's concussion protocol, but the wideout will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins will have two more opportunities to upgrade to full participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, and it appears as though he's trending in the right direction on that front. Prior to his exit from the Bengals' Week 1 loss to the Steelers, Higgins logged 26 snaps while catching both of his targets for 27 yards.

Higgins will not return to Sunday's game against the Steelers after suffering a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins thus finishes up the contest with two catches (on two targets) for 27 yards. The wideout will now look to gain medical clearance in the coming days in advance of next Sunday's road contest against the Cowboys.

Higgins was forced out of Sunday's game against the Steelers with a possible concussion.

EDGE Analysis

With Higgins, who caught two passes for 27 yards prior to his exit, sidelined Sunday, Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd are slated to work as the Bengals' primary wideout options for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Higgins headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Steelers after absorbing a hit on a route down the middle, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to his exit from the contest, Higgins had caught both of his targets for 27 yards. In his absence, Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will serve as the Bengals' primary wideout options.

Higgins (shoulder) isn't listed on the Bengals' Week 1 injury report released Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins will be ready to go for Sunday's season opener against the Steelers after making a full recovery from the surgery he underwent in March to repair a torn labrum. The third-year wideout will reprise his role as a key receiving option for quarterback Joe Burrow this season alongside fellow starting receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd. While playing alongside Chase and Boyd during his sophomore campaign, Higgins logged a fantasy-friendly 74-1,091-6 receiving line over 14 regular-season contests.

Higgins (shoulder) returned to practice Monday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins has been managing a shoulder issue ahead of Week 1, so his presence on the field Monday bodes well for his availability for Sunday's season opener against the Steelers. Added clarity on that front should arrive by Wednesday once the Bengals post their official injury report following practice.
