Taylor: Cincinnati's Tee Higgins (hamstring) remains out in Week 12

What it means:

According to head coach Zac Taylor, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) will not play in Week 12's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Higgins will miss his third straight game after he was unable to practice with a hamstring injury.

Tee Higgins (hamstring) misses Bengals' Thursday practice ahead of Week 12

What it means:

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice ahead of the team's Week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Higgins has missed two straight practices to open the week for Cincinnati and is trending towards missing a third straight game. His absence could skew even more targets towards Ja'Marr Chase in the Joe Burrow-less Bengals' offense. Higgins has caught 27 passes for 328 yards and 7 touchdowns in his 7 games so far this season.

Tee Higgins (hamstring) remains out Wednesday for Bengals

What it means:

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday for Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Higgins is on track to miss a third straight game after remaining out for the first practice of Week 12. Joe Burrow is done for the season with a wrist injury and the Bengals' receivers aren't expected to do much with Jake Browning under center. The Steelers are allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season, but according to numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings, they have the sixth-best pass defense in the NFL.

What it means:

According to head coach Zac Taylor, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) will miss the remainder of the season.

Bengals' Joe Burrow likely dealing with wrist sprain

What it means:

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is believed to have a right wrist sprain, per head coach Zac Taylor. Burrow exited toward the end of the first half in Thursday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was unable to grip the ball and looked visibly frustrated, but the Bengals are optimistic Burrow will be able to return this season. Jake Browning will likely start in Week 12 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers if Burrow is unavailable. Burrow completed 11 of 17 pass attempts for 101 yards and a touchdown before exiting. Browning completed 8 of 14 passes for 68 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions, and he rushed 4 times for 40 yards. However, most of that production came on a 75-yard touchdown drive in garbage time.

Browning completed his first career pass shortly before the 2 minute warning on Thursday, securing a first down on a connection with Trenton Irwin.
