After defeating divisional rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, the Cincinnati Bengals are slated to take on the Buffalo Bills. Ahead of this all-important game for the Bengals, Cincinnati received a major boost with the availability of wide receiver Tee Higgins, who suffered a concussion in Week 12.

“Tee Higgins (concussion) seen participating in practice again Friday,” the report by Underdog said.

Higgins suffered the injury after his head landed hard on the turf in Cincinnati’s 26-20 loss to the visiting New England Patriots. He was motionless for several minutes before eventually being carted to the locker room with 4:45 left in the game.

“It’s been a minute, man,” Higgins said of his return to the field. “I’m definitely looking forward to (playing on Sunday). It’s going to be great.”

Through this week, Higgins was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday before turning in a full level of participation in Thursday’s and Friday’s sessions.

“It was just getting through concussion protocol, seeing how I’m feeling with working out, running routes, and things like that,” Higgins said. “So it’s basically all just on me, see how I’m feeling, and then passing those tests as well.

So far this season, Higgins has 40 catches for 575 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games; hence, his presence will be important for the Bengals. Especially as they sit two games back of the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6) and Baltimore Ravens (6-6) in the AFC North. Both teams are playing each other in Baltimore on Sunday, so defeating the Bills is that much more important for Cincinnati.

Now shifting focus to Buffalo, how are the Bills gearing up to this big-ticket matchup at Highmark Stadium?

Buffalo Bills injury report:

After defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Buffalo Bills will be missing key defensive players against the Bengals. Star edge rusher Joey Bosa (hamstring/wrist) did not practice for the second day in a row, as he is expected to miss several weeks with his injury. Similarly, Linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) also missed his second straight practice.

“Bills HC Sean McDermott said on WGR-AM that DE Joey Bosa and LB Terrel Bernard have been ruled OUT vs. the Bengals on Sunday,” the report by Joe Buscaglia revealed.

The report delved into how the wide receiver continues to recover from a knee injury, as he didn’t participate in the team practice. Dion Dawkins had limited participation in the practice after being cleared to play through the NFL’s concussion protocol. Similarly, Spencer Brown was to have a restricted role during the practice.
