Sticking to side field at practice

Higgins (groin/neck) was spotted working out on a side field during the open portion of Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Higgins emerged from a Week 4 loss to the Jaguars with an adductor issue, and Wednesday's practice report attributed his absence to both that injury and a neck problem. Considering he isn't in pads one day later, he seems destined to be a non-participant for a second session in a row, giving him just one more chance to mix into drills this week. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) returned to practice Thursday, though his activity level isn't known.
