The Cincinnati Bengals are eager to secure their first victory of the 2024 NFL season, with quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase feeling the weight of their winless start. Though it’s only Week 2, the pressure is mounting, but the team recently received some encouraging news with the potential return of a crucial wide receiver who’s been sidelined by injury.
That wide receiver is Tee Higgins, who recently shared that he’s feeling fit and ready to join Burrow and Chase for the highly anticipated Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders at Paycor Stadium.
“I feel great,” Higgins revealed after Friday’s practice. “It was tough to sit out with the injury for the first two weeks, especially since I put so much effort into preventing something like this during the offseason. But I’m finally back and ready to dive into this season. It’s all good now.”
Higgins, who sustained his injury during the preseason, unfortunately missed the start of the current campaign. In the 2023 season, he made an impact by starting 11 of 12 games, scoring five touchdowns. His best season so far was in 2022, where he racked up seven touchdowns.
Tee Higgins’ return couldn’t have come at a better time for the Bengals, as they look to find their rhythm and make a statement this season.
Bengals’ standout receiver Ja’Marr Chase expressed his excitement about having Higgins back for the Week 3 Monday Night Football game. He emphasized that Higgins’ presence could be the key to getting their first win of the season.
“I feel like we need that win, just to have something to build on and feel more at ease,” Chase explained. “Getting a win at home would be huge, and having our full offense finally together as one complete unit will be a game-changer for us.”
**Will Higgins’ return be the spark the Bengals need to kickstart their 2024 season? All eyes will be on Paycor Stadium as the team looks to turn things around.**
