Higgins (shoulder) will be evaluated Tuesday to determine his status for Thursday's Week 4 matchup against the Jaguars, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins was held out of Sunday's win over the Steelers due to a shoulder injury, and his status for Week 4 is in question with the Bengals facing a short week. The 22-year-old's status likely will come into focus based on his status in practice this week, but Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will continue to lead Cincinnati's receiving corps if Higgins is forced to miss a second straight game.

Higgins (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins was listed as doubtful after managing just one practice - LP on Friday - throughout the week. His absence leaves Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd as clear leaders of the Cincinnati pass-catching corps, while Mike Thomas and Auden Tate are the lead candidates to absorb Higgins' snaps. The second-year pro will try to make it back for Week 4, but he faces a challenge with Cincinnati hosting Jacksonville in the Thursday game.

Higgins (shoulder) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins officially is listed as doubtful after a limited practice Friday represented his only participation of the week. Coach Zac Taylor did suggest the Bengals would re-evaluate Higgins over the weekend, but there's no real expectation that he'll have improved enough to play. Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will lead the Cincinnati receiving corps this week, backed by Auden Tate and/or Mike Thomas filling in for the injured Higgins.

Higgins (shoulder) officially is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins made some progress by following up no activity Wednesday and Thursday with a limited session Friday, but the Bengals don't appear too optimistic about his status for Week 3. During media availability Friday, coach Zac Taylor told Ben Baby of ESPN.com that pain tolerance will be the key for Higgins potentially getting to play Sunday. "We'll try to give him every second we can give him before he tells us one way or the other," Taylor said. As a result, the final decision on Higgins' availability may not come until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Higgins (shoulder) is in line to be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With that, it looks like Higgins is trending toward Week 3 inactive status. If he ends up ruled out versus Pittsburgh, added looks would be available for Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd, while either Auden Tate or Mike Thomas would be in line to log complementary WR snaps in Cincinnati's passing game.

Higgins (shoulder) is suited up for Friday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Higgins sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's a good sign to see him back on the field Friday, even if he's only a limited participant. It remains unclear whether the 22-year-old will be able to avoid an injury designation, but he should have a chance to play Sunday at Pittsburgh.

Higgins (shoulder) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Back-to-back DNPs to start the week puts the focus on what, if anything, Higgins is able to do at practice Friday. If he's out or limited this weekend, more WR targets would be freed up for Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd, while either Auden Tate or Mike Thomas would be candidates to see added complementary snaps in Cincinnati's Week 3 passing game.

Higgins missed Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Zac Taylor didn't elaborate on Higgins' injury earlier Wednesday when he revealed that the wideout would miss practice. There was no sign of injury in the Week 2 box score, as Higgins caught six of a team-high 10 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown while playing 91 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears. He'll face the Steelers this weekend if he's healthy enough to play, while either Auden Tate or Mike Thomas will step up to a top-three role if Higgins is out.

Coach Zac Taylor relayed that Higgins (undisclosed) won't practice Wednesday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The wideout is thus considered day-to-day as Sunday's game against the Steelers approaches. Wednesday's upcoming injury report will reveal what sort of injury Higgins is dealing with, but if he's out or limited this weekend, added targets would be freed up for Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd.

Higgins caught six of his team-high 10 targets for 60 yards and a TD in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, Tyler Boyd hauled in seven of his nine targets for 73 yards and rookie Ja'Marr Chase caught two of his four targets for 54 yards and a TD. Higgins - who logged a 4-58-1 stat line in Week 1 -- figures to remain heavily involved in the Bengals' passing attack once again next weekend, when the team travels to Pittsburgh.
