Bengals' Higgins, Wilson to play vs. Jaguars; Taylor-Britt ruled out
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins will return for Monday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing three games with hamstring and knee injuries, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Higgins has missed four total games with injury this season. The Clemson product hauled in 27 passes for 328 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. He's in the final year of his rookie contract after being selected with the No. 33 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Linebacker Logan Wilson will also be available despite foot and ankle injuries, while cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt will be forced to miss the contest with quad and ankle ailments, per Schefter.
Wilson hasn't missed a game this season and leads the team with 89 total tackles. He also has three interceptions, six pass deflections, and a pair of forced fumbles.
Taylor-Britt, meanwhile, will miss his second consecutive contest after being sidelined for the 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12. The 24-year-old has four interceptions and 10 pass deflections in 10 games this year.
