After returning from a concussion in Week 14, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is back in the concussion protocol in Week 15.
Higgins hit his head on the turf hard on multiple occasions during the Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills, but he cleared concussion tests each time and finished out the game.
However, according to ESPN's Ben Baby, Higgins reported concussion-like symptoms after the game and is now back in the protocol.
"Higgins reported concussion-like symptoms following the team's 39-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Taylor said. Higgins was evaluated in the team's injury tent twice and cleared both checks, enabling him to return and finish the game," he reported on Monday.
Here's what we know about Higgins' chances of suiting up in Week 15.
Will Tee Higgins play in Week 15?
There is no concrete answer on Higgins' status for Week 15 yet.
But since this is his second concussion since Week 12, we would say the Bengals wideout is likely to sit out in Week 15.
On Monday, head coach Zac Taylor didn't provide an update on Higgins' status for Sunday and would only say the team will evaluate him during the week.
"We'll put him back in the protocol and we'll go through that this week," Taylor said.
The next update on Higgins will come on Wednesday, when the Bengals release their first injury report of the week. If Higgins is able to log even so much as a limited practice, it'll be a good sign for his chances of suiting up.
