The Bengals handed out injury designations for Saturday’s game against the Steelers and a couple of key skill position players earned questionable tags.
Running back Chase Brown remained out of practice with the ankle injury he suffered in last Saturday’s win over the Broncos while wide receiver Tee Higgins was a limited participant due to the ankle and knee issues that landed him on the report. Higgins caught the game-winning touchdown in overtime against Denver, so he may be a better bet to play than Brown.
Right tackle Amarius Mims (ankle, hand) did not practice Thursday and is listed as questionable along with wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin), tight end Drew Sample (groin), and cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt (ankle). Defensive end Sam Hubbard (knee) has been ruled out.
The Bengals need a win and losses by the Broncos and Dolphins to qualify for the playoffs.
The Illinois football team may be without running back Chase Brown and wide receiver Tee Higgins for Saturday’s game as both players are listed as questionable.
Brown, who leads the Illini in rushing yards this season, is dealing with a lower body injury that has limited his practice time this week. Meanwhile, Higgins has been battling a nagging hamstring issue and may not be at full strength for the upcoming game.
Losing both Brown and Higgins would be a blow to Illinois’ offense, as they are two of the team’s most dynamic playmakers. However, head coach Lovie Smith remains hopeful that both players will be able to suit up on Saturday.
Fans will have to wait until game time to see if Brown and Higgins are able to take the field, but their potential absence is certainly cause for concern for the Illini. Stay tuned for updates on their status as game day approaches.
