Bengals' Tee Higgins: Quiet debut on MNF

Higgins (hamstring) caught three of six targets for 39 yards in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders.

Higgins made his much-anticipated debut in 2024 after missing the Bengals' first two games with a hamstring injury. While his return didn't result in big numbers nor a victory for the still win-less Bengals, the physical receiver was able to draw enough defensive attention to allow teammate Ja'Marr Chase (6-118-2) to go off in the exciting primetime loss. Expect bigger projections for Higgins as the season progresses as he embarks on what is essentially his preseason from a conditioning perspective. Up next for the Bengals will be a road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday.
