Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins remains sidelined from practice due to a hamstring injury and may miss the upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Higgins addressed speculation that he is faking the injury due to contract issues, firmly denying the claims and emphasizing that the injury is genuine. He reiterated that the deadline for contract extensions has passed and that he wants to give his team 100% effort when he returns. Coach Zac Taylor characterized Higgins as day-to-day and noted that he is making good progress in his recovery. If Higgins is unable to play, Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin may see expanded roles alongside Ja'Marr Chase.
