Cincinnati wide receiver Tee Higgins could miss his second straight game and four-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Orlando Brown also is doubtful for Sunday’s home game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Friday.
Both Higgins (quadricep) and Brown (knee/fibula) missed three consecutive days of this week. Wideout Charlie Jones sustained a groin injury on Thursday and missed practice on Friday, with Taylor listing him as questionable against the Raiders (2-6).
Higgins injured his quad at practice last week and was inactive for the game against the Philadelphia Eagles as the Bengals fell to 3-5.
The 25-year-old has played in five games (three starts) and has 29 receptions on 45 targets for 341 yards and three touchdowns.
Cincinnati selected Higgins in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson. He has 286 receptions for 4,025 yards and 27 TDs in 63 games (56 starts).
Brown, 28, has started all eight games this season, his second with the Bengals. A third-round pick by Baltimore in 2018, he has started 100 of 106 games for the Ravens (2018-20), Kansas City Chiefs (2021-22) and Bengals.
