Four grabs against Cards Higgins caught four of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over Arizona.

Impact The 26-year-old wideout fell one yard shy of Ja'Marr Chase for the team lead, but his teammate bolstered his production with two TDs. Higgins has missed two of the last five games due to concussion issues, and on the season he's posted a 53-779-10 line on 89 targets through 14 contests. He needs one more touchdowns to set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 18 against the Browns.

Hauls in TD in return Higgins caught all three of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Making his return from another one-game absence due to a concussion, Higgins made an immediate impact by connecting with Joe Burrow on a nine-yard TD in the first quarter. He's had to sit out two of the last three weeks while in the concussion protocol, but Higgins had has a nose for the end zone this season whenever he's been in the lineup, finding paydirt in six of his last seven appearances and hauling in 10 touchdowns in total over 13 games in 2025. His next score will set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Active versus Dolphins Higgins (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Higgins, who was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, finished up the week with a full session Friday before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With the wideout having advanced through the NFL's concussion protocol, Higgins -- who was inactive in Week 15 -- is set to reclaim his key role in a Cincinnati passing attack helmed once again by QB Joe Burrow (making his fourth straight start since returning from a toe injury), which also features high-volume WR Ja'Marr Chase and RB Chase Brown. In 12 games played to date, Higgins has made his mark from a fantasy perspective by recording a 46/667/9 receiving line on 81 on targets.

On track to play Sunday Higgins (concussion) is in line to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Fowler, Higgins, who the Bengals listed as questionable for the contest, is "good to go," with the report noting that the team was hopeful about the wideout's status this weekend, but wanted to make sure he felt good Sunday morning. Official confirmation of Higgins' Week 16 playing status is slated to arrive once inactives are posted ahead of Cincinnati's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Clears protocol Higgins remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Miami, but he's on track to play after clearing the five-step concussion protocol, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact After sitting out the Bengals' Week 15 loss to the Ravens due to the head injury, Higgins put himself on a path to return to action in Week 16 after he turned in a full practice Friday. Before the Bengals headed to Miami, Higgins made a brief trip to Pittsburgh to complete the final step of the protocol Saturday, when he received clearance from an independent neurologist. Higgins should be ready to handle his typical snap count Sunday.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Higgins missed last Sunday's loss to Baltimore due to a concussion he suffered Week 14 against Buffalo. That was his second concussion of the campaign, but he appears to be feeling better after logging a full practice session Friday. Assuming Higgins has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, he appears set to return to action against the Dolphins, which would be a big boost to a Cincinnati offense that was shut out last Sunday by the Ravens.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Questionable after full practice Higgins (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Higgins upgraded to full participation after a pair of limited practices, which marks another step forward as he works his way through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but he still needs to earn clearance from an independent neurologist before he can exit concussion protocol. If Higgins receives that clearance, the star wide receiver would likely return Sunday after missing Cincinnati's Week 15 loss to the Ravens.

Questionable for Sunday Higgins (concussion) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that Higgins -- who was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday -- still has one more hurdle to clear in the NFL's concussion protocol. Fortunately for those considering the wideout in Week 16 fantasy lineups, the Bengals kickoff Sunday is at 1:00 p.m. ET. If Higgins isn't cleared to face Miami, Mitchell Tinsley would be in line to see added WR snaps alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs another limited practice Thursday Higgins (concussion) was listed as limited in practice Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Baby notes that Higgins hasn't been a full practice participant since reporting concussion-like symptoms following the Bengals' Dec. 7 loss to the Bills. The wideout thus has one more chance to log a full session ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but if that doesn't happen Friday, Higgins may end up ruled out for Week 16 action ahead of the weekend.

The Big Picture: Joe Burrow’s Discontent Sets Up Bengals’ Most Important Offseason Ever

The Big Picture: Joe Burrow’s Discontent Sets Up Bengals’ Most Important Offseason Ever

Shows up at Thursday's practice Higgins (concussion) made an appearance in the final moments of the open portion of Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Higgins showed up with a helmet while working with the Bengals' training staff, which marks his first notable progress through his second time going through the concussion protocol over the last four weeks. Ultimately, Thursday's injury report will reveal if he was able to upgrade to limited participation.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not seen at practice Thursday Higgins (concussion) wasn't spotted during the initial portion of Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Higgins was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice, so his absence early on Thursday is notable. The Bengals' upcoming injury report will confirm the wideout's official participation level, but if Higgins is unavailable Sunday against the Dolphins, Mitchell Tinsley would be in line to see added WR snaps alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited practice Wednesday Higgins (concussion) was limited at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ben Baby of ESPN.com previously noted via coach Zac Taylor that Higgins remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, with the wideout now having two more chances to upgrade his practice participation level before the Bengals' Week 16 game statuses are posted. In his absence during the team's 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday, Mitchell Tinsley logged added WR snaps alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains in concussion protocol Higgins remains in concussion protocol Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bengals coach Zac Taylor hinted at Higgins still needing to clear multiple steps of the protocol, which isn't surprising after he suffered his second concussion of the season in Week 14 and then managed just two limited practices in Week 15. There's also some chance Cincinnati's lack of playoff hopes factors into the situation, though QB Joe Burrow has been adamant about trying to right the ship down the stretch. Mitchell Tinsley is the favorite to take most of Higgins' vacated snaps (again) if Higgins is unavailable Sunday at Miami.
