Bengals’ Higgins and Taylor-Britt Make Limited but Promising Returns; Browning Gains Confidence as Burrow Offers Support.
Bengals receiver Tee Higgins made a limited return to practice after a month-long hamstring injury, expressing cautious optimism about being at 100%.
He plans to play in Monday night’s game against Jacksonville. No. 1 cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt, recovering from a quad injury, also had a limited but positive practice, aiming to avoid setbacks.
Higgins, injured before the Nov. 12 game against Houston, highlighted the team’s recent struggles, losing three straight with quarterback Joe Burrow out for the year. Jake Browning, the current quarterback, has shown confidence, and Higgins looks forward to catching passes from him.
Browning, reflecting on his first NFL start last week, feels more in sync for his upcoming road start. He emphasizes the importance of practice reps and continuous improvement, noting he’s not at his plateau.
Burrow, recovering from wrist surgery, attended practice with his arm in a sling, showcasing his team spirit. Center Ted Karras praised the team’s energy and expressed determination for the upcoming prime-time game against a conference-leading team.
Despite Browning and middle linebacker Logan Wilson showing up on the injury report, they both participated fully in Thursday’s practice. Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (illness) and tight end Trey Hendrickson (rest day) were among those who didn’t participate.
