The AFC North battle between the Bengals and Browns has resulted in an injury to Cincinnati receiver Tee Higgins.
The Bengals receiver was designated as questionable to return with a right hamstring injury. The third-year receiver has 10 combined receptions in the past two weeks for 149 yards and two scores.
Per Jesse Palmer of NFL.com:
TV sideline reporter just said that Tee Higgins (who hasn't played much so far) is available but may not play that much due to a hamstring injury. This was a "coach's decision". He was left off the final injury report after two limited practices.

Brutal run out for fantasy.

Higgins was listed as limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, but did not have an official designation for Sunday's game. The team did not mention him in the gameday injury report, either.
Adding to the Bengals' issues at the receiver position is the fact that Tyler Boyd was also listed as out with a finger to his right injury. The Bengals still have star receiver Ja'Marr Chase to catch passes from Joe Burrow, who obviously would prefer to have his full arsenal of weapons.

WIth Higgins questionable and Boyd out, only Chase remains among the Bengals' three listed starters at the position. Behind Higgins and Boyd are second-stringers Trenton Irwin, Trent Taylor and Stanley Morgan.
They have combined for 13 catches for 139 yards and a score this season.
