Bengals likely will be underdogs from here out, per ESPN
Winning as an underdog is always nice. No Joe Burrow. Tee Higgins battling nagging injuries. The defense doesn’t have the same bite it had over the last couple of years. All of these single turds have merged and congealed into the massive sewer clog that is the 2023 Cincinnati Bengals season. They sit at 5-6 heading into a Week 13 Monday Night Football matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are favored by more than a touchdown. The Bengals being the underdog will likely be a common theme for the rest of the season, based on ESPN’s Football Power Index. Without Burrow...

Cam Taylor-Britt suffers ankle injury in practice; won’t play vs. Jaguars
Photo by Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire via A tough blow for the Bengals secondary. The Cincinnati Bengals will not have Cam Taylor-Britt this week vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars. Unfortunately, it’s not the quad injury that kept him out of the Week 12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Friday, Taylor-Britt suffered an ankle injury in practice, according to head coach Zac Taylor, who added that the veteran cornerback won’t play Monday due to said injury. Thankfully, linebacker Logan Wilson and wideout Tee Higgins will play this week. Zac Taylor says Cam Taylor-Britt...

Tee Higgins plans to play vs. Jaguars
Photo by Andy Lyons/ This would be massive for the Bengals. The Cincinnati Bengals may not have Joe Burrow, but they still have an offense that ‘should’ be able to put up points vs. just about anyone. That is, if everyone else is healthy, which hasn’t been the case much since Week 5 due to Tee Higgins being in and out of the lineup due to injury. Higgins’ latest setback was a pulled hamstring he suffered in practice prior to the team’s loss to the Houston Texans in Week 10. He also battled a rib fracture earlier this season that sidelined him for a game. Now,...

The Athletic projects Bengals to take a wide receiver in the first round of NFL Draft
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports The questions around Tee Higgins are impacting mock draft projections. The 2024 NFL Draft will be an interesting one for the Cincinnati Bengals as they may need to address a need at wide receiver. Star wide receiver Tee Higgins is set to enter free agency after the season since neither side could not agree on a contract before this season. In the event that the two can’t agree on a new contract this coming offseason and the Bengals do not elect to use a franchise tag on Higgins, a high first-round draft may be used to replace him. ...

Zac Taylor gives updates on 3 injured Bengals starters
Photo by Cooper Neill/ Possible reinforcements. The Cincinnati Bengals can’t seem to shake the injury bug in 2023. First, it was Joe Burrow fighting through a calf injury. Then Tee Higgins went down with a rib fracture. Higgins came back, only to hurt his hamstring and miss time. Sam Hubbard missed three games. Burrow was lost for the year. Cam Taylor-Britt was unable to go against Pittsburgh. It just wouldn’t end. Sunday, it looked like the hits kept coming when star linebacker Logan Wilson went down with a lower leg injury. For a team that keeps taking major...

Zac Taylor reiterates Tee Higgins is working hard in rehab
Photo by Jeff Dean/ Some seem to think Higgins is making a business decision by not playing. That’s not the case. The Cincinnati Bengals brought back linebackers Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt this offseason to shore up their defense. Technically, they re-signed Pratt and extended Wilson. On top of that, they made quarterback Joe Burrow the highest-paid player in the NFL with his contract extension. With Ja’Marr Chase’s extension looming as well, the team hasn’t found it in their budget to toss a new multi-million dollar extension to star wide receiver Tee...

From Tee Higgins and Sam Hubbard missing extended time to franchise quarterback Joe Burrow suffering a season-ending wrist injury (after recovering from a calf strain), it is just hard to imagine their luck getting worse.
