Tee Higgins’ heel is officially good to go for the Bengals’ season opener, and that’s the biggest news out of Paycor Stadium right now.
The Road Back to 100 Percent
Higgins recently battled a heel contusion, which sidelined him from practice for a whole week. It was a concern, for sure, seeing him out as they prepped for the season. But he’s been back on the field, fully participating in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday as the Bengals get ready for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He’s truly back to full speed.
The Roar of the Crowd Awaits
The wide receiver sounds absolutely fired up to get back out there. He’s ready to hear that signature “TEE” chant from 65,000 screaming fans at Paycor Stadium once again. Higgins put it perfectly, saying, “It’s a great feeling. Because once you get that first catch, and you hear your name, just a whole bunch of people screaming your name is like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s get it going.’” You know that first reception is gonna ignite the place.
So get ready, Cincinnati. The Bengals are hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their season opener at 1 p.m. EST this Sunday, September 13. With Higgins 100 percent healthy and ready to electrify the crowd, this game is set to kick off their season with some serious fireworks. Don’t miss it.
