Tee Higgins injury update: Bengals WR ruled out with concussion

Drew Brees talks about return to broadcast booth, New Orleans Saints QBs
Drew Brees reveals how he’s preparing for his NFL broadcast comeback and promotes blood donation with Abbott and Big Ten.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins suffered an apparent head injury during the fourth quarter of his team’s Week 12 game against the New England Patriots.
The injury occurred when Higgins attempted to make a one-handed catch while being covered by Carlton Davis. The veteran receiver went to the ground hard, unable to brace himself as Davis was tackling him, and saw his head slam into the turf.
Higgins remained down on the field and was tended to by Cincinnati’s medical staff. The CBS broadcast eventually showed the 26-year-old leaving the field on a cart, holding the back of his head.
The Bengals later announced Higgins had been ruled out of Sunday’s game because of a concussion.
The Bengals were already without top receiver Ja’Marr Chase because of a suspension, so they will finish Sunday’s game with Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones as their top available receivers.
