Tee Higgins had just started to come into his own in the season. However, with the wide receiver being placed on the injury report, the chances of him suiting up this Sunday have dwindled.
Cincinnati Bengals fans are unable to take it anymore and didn’t hide their frustrations. The Bengals will be facing the formidable Philadelphia Eagles and could miss their wide receiver.
Bengals Fans Are Outraged as Tee Higgins Gets Injured
After Friday’s practice session, the Bengals released their injury report. It had only one name on it, Tee Higgins. The 25-year-old suffered a quad injury during the training session and has been listed as questionable by the Bengals for the Sunday game.
“A new addition to the Bengals injury report: WR Tee Higgins suffered a quad injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Eagles,” NFL insider Tom Pelisserp reported on X (previously Twitter).

The Bengals’ fans couldn’t believe their luck and started lashing out at the WR.
“I love Tee Higgins but my biggest concern with paying him a lucrative deal is he’s missed games in each of the last 4 seasons,” one fan tweeted.

“This is gonna be his annual ‘doesn’t get ruled out but only plays like 2 snaps’ game, isn’t it?” another fan added.
“What’s wrong with this guy? It’s always at practice too,” one Bengals fan tweeted.

“Does anyone get hurt at practice more often than Tee Higgins?” one fan responded.
“My god, he can never stay healthy. Sucks because he’s so talented,” replied one fan.
“I’m done man,” added one fan.

Higgins Addresses Trade Rumors
With the Nov. 5 trade deadline approaching, Higgins has been rumored to be moving away from the Bengals. The franchise-tagged WR, however, addressed these rumors on Friday. He appeared on “Up & Adams” before his injury status was revealed.
“Obviously, I heard it, you know, the past few weeks when my name’s coming up in the trade talks,” Higgins said.
However, he clarified that he won’t be moving away from Cinci and will focus on winning the next game.
Higgins previously missed the season’s first two games due to a hamstring injury. While the wideout has fact-checked the trade rumors, the fans’ immediate concern about him playing against the Eagles is still there.
