Tee Higgins: "I Hope All the Injury Stuff Is Behind Me"
Cincinnati Bengals' Star Wide Receiver Returns After Missing Five Games
Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Tee Higgins has missed five of the team's 10 games in 2022, due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 4.
Higgins made his return to the lineup in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and recorded six receptions for 63 yards, but he re-aggravated the injury in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans and missed the next three games.
Now that he's back on the field, Higgins expressed his hope that he can put the injury problems behind him and help the Bengals make a playoff push.
Higgins' Injury History
Higgins has been dealing with hamstring issues since his college days at Clemson and has missed several games due to the injury in each of his first three NFL seasons.
The 23-year-old wide receiver is a key part of the Bengals' offense and his presence on the field makes a big difference for quarterback Joe Burrow and the rest of the team.
The Bengals are currently 7-4 and in first place in the AFC North, but they need Higgins to be healthy and productive if they want to make a deep playoff run.
Higgins' Outlook for the Rest of the Season
Higgins is expected to play in the Bengals' Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it's unclear how much he will play.
The Bengals will be cautious with Higgins and not risk re-injuring him, but they also need him on the field to help them win games.
If Higgins can stay healthy and productive, he could be a major factor in the Bengals' playoff push.

Tee Higgins is a talented wide receiver who has been hampered by injuries in his NFL career.
He is now back on the field and hopes to put the injury problems behind him and help the Bengals make a playoff push.
The Bengals need Higgins to be healthy and productive if they want to make a deep playoff run.
