Is Tee Higgins playing in Week 16 for Bengals?

[ASFN Admin]

Tee Higgins has been cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol and the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is on track to make his return Sunday after missing last week's game against the Ravens.

Listed as questionable for Cincy's Week 16 road tilt against the Miami Dolphins, Higgins is likely to play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 26-year-old even visited a renowned concussion expert in Pittsburgh to confirm his status and offer additional reassurance that Higgins was good to go.

Higgins, who caught six of a season-high 11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns his last game, shouldn't have many limits in his return after logging a full practice on Friday.
