Fourth quarter update: Higgins returned to the game on the first play of the next Bengals drive at the 13:32 mark of the fourth quarter.


The Cincinnati Bengals are leading the Cleveland Browns in Week 16, but will be keeping an eye on wide receiver Tee Higgins in the second half. Higgins suffered an ankle injury and limped off the field after being down for a moment.

A Browns defender tackled him on a reception and Higgins’ toe got stuck in the ground. He grabbed the left ankle and eventually was able to go to the sideline. He was headed to the blue medical tent but then stopped and is on the sideline without the trainers around him as of this first publishing.

More to come.
