What It Means:

Higgins barely played in the Bengals' Week 5 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, aggravating his already-injured ankle in the early phases of the game. It looks like he was fortunately able to avoid doing any extra damage to the injury, but could be questionable again heading into the team's Week 6 game against the New Orleans Saints.

Higgins has dueled with teammate Ja'Marr Chase for the team's lead in receiving categories so far this season, with his 315 receiving yards trailing Chase's 343 by just 28 despite Higgins' limited snaps in Week 5. Mike Thomas seemed to take over Higgins' role in Week 5, but his absence would theoretically lead to increased looks to Chase and Tyler Boyd.
