Bengals HC Zac Taylor told reporters Friday that RB Joe Mixon (illness) and WR Tee Higgins (ankle) are expected to play Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Mixon has been spotted at practice but is not on the field for obvious reasons. His status will depend on his ability to feel well enough to play, especially with Cincy's switch to a run-focused offense. Higgins was hurt Week 13 while putting together a second straight good game.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor told reporters Friday that Tee Higgins (shoulder) looked great at practice and will play Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers.

Joe Burrow will have his full compliment of receivers for the first time in a few weeks, the same week the Packers will be without top cornerback Jaire Alexander.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) was limited Wednesday. He has been out the past two games.

His return would come just in time as the Green Bay Packers contemplate how long CB Jaire Alexander will be out. Higgins' return would put the Bengals receiving corps in a great position.

Additionally, Zac Taylor said that he expects receiver Tee Higgins to practice on Wednesday.

Higgins missed Week 3 and Week 4 because of a shoulder injury and this is certainly good news that he could be on pace to play in Week 5. The Bengals had a short week in Week 4 and played on Thursday night against the Jags which likely didn't help Higgins get back on the field sooner. The Bengals host the Packers in Week 5.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins will miss Week 4's game against the Jaguars according to Field Yates of ESPN.

Look for Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd to dominate receiver targets, as well as increased passing roles for Joe Mixon and C.J. Uzomah.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins not suited up for today's practice.

As we reported last week, Higgins did practice Friday after DNPs Wednesday and Thursday. Obviously it turned out he never played in Week 3 but we'll continue to monitor. Any sign of Higgins on Wednesday and/or Thursday could be a good sign.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor told reporters that WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) is doubtful for Week 3 at Pittsburgh.

While this seems like a boost for Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase, Higgins did practice Friday after DNPs Wednesday and Thursday. Despite the doubtful tag it is important to monitor his status Sunday.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is questionable to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Tyler Dragon of The Inquirer.

Higgins has been a valuable offensive player for Cincy, so a potential week without him against a porous Cowboys defense would be troubling.
