Full-go Wednesday
Higgins (heel) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
The Bengals look to have their dynamic receiver tandem in position to play in the opener as Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase (knee) both practiced in full to begin the week. Higgins was slowed by a heel contusion earlier in September but is tracking towards being ready to begin the season. The Bengals will host the Buccaneers to kick off 2026.
