ESPN shares conflicting reports about Bengals WR Tee Higgins' chances to play vs Eagles

Higgins missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to a hamstring injury. His status for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles is uncertain.

ESPN's Ben Baby reported on Wednesday that Higgins is "unlikely" to play against the Eagles. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday that Higgins is "hopeful" to play.

Higgins is a key part of the Bengals' offense

Higgins is a key part of the Bengals' offense. He caught 74 passes for 1,091 yards and six touchdowns in 2021. He is the Bengals' second-leading receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase.

If Higgins is unable to play against the Eagles, it would be a big blow to the Bengals' offense. The Eagles have a strong defense, and the Bengals will need all of their weapons available to have a chance to win.

The Bengals are 2-0 this season
