Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is once again a name to watch on the injury report, this time ahead of his team’s Week 15 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Higgins scored two touchdowns in a loss to the Buffalo Bills before entering the concussion protocol for the second time in less than a month.

Tee Higgins injury outlook
Concussions are a tricky injury, and two trips so close together make it nearly impossible to predict Higgins’ outlook. For now, comments from Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and others can serve as guidance.
“The way he talked to me about it was, ‘I got hit, so I was just in shock from the football hit,'” Taylor said, according to Bengals.com’s Geoff Hobson. “When the doctor got there, I felt fine. I stood up, which was fine, cleared everything up.'”

Taylor continued, via Hobson: “After the game, you get on the plane here this morning and he does the right thing and says, ‘Well, now I don’t feel good.’ “So we’re going to put him back into the protocol. “
Bengals WR Depth Chart
The Bengals waived Jermaine Burton this week, leaving them with five players on the 53-man roster. They have Jordan Moore and Kendrick Pryor on their practice squad, with the latter most likely to be called up for a game if needed. This is a tough call between Isivas and Tinsley because if Higgins misses a game, Tinsley will get more attention.
