There is optimism that Tee Higgins will play vs. Broncos

The Cincinnati Bengals are set for a massive AFC game this weekend against the Denver Broncos at Paycor Stadium.

With playoff implications on the line and an opportunity for the Bengals to get back to .500, the team needs to be as close to full health as possible.

Cincinnati is set to get Orlando Brown Jr. back on the offensive line after missing the past few weeks, but there is some worry Tee Higgins could miss the game Saturday.

Higgins was tackled awkwardly late against the Browns and is officially listed as questionable with an ankle/knee injury.

Higgins has practiced throughout the week and has improved day-by-day giving some optimism that he will suit up, according to Jeremy Fowler.

It seems, as long as there are no last-minute issues, that Tee will play, and the Bengals offense will be nearly at full strength in this massive game.

The Bengals offense flows much better when Tee is on the field, and the team needs him to be healthy to win the most important games down the stretch.
