Tee Higgins is set to be a key part of the Bengals’ offense on Sunday, and this time there’s no injury question hanging over him. After dealing with an adductor issue in Week 5, Higgins played in Cincinnati’s win over the Miami Dolphins, then used the bye week to get right ahead of a divisional meeting with the Baltimore Ravens.
He is now off the injury report and expected to handle his normal workload. Higgins practiced in full this week, and the Bengals enter the matchup basically at full strength.
The timing is good for Cincinnati, because Higgins has been one of the league’s most productive receivers this season. Through five games, he has 27 catches on 43 targets for 423 yards and a touchdown. He and Ja’Marr Chase have become a dangerous duo on the outside, and both remain strong prop options as long as Joe Burrow is healthy.
Higgins also offers appeal in the touchdown market this week. SI Betting’s Iain MacMillan is backing him to find the end zone for the second time in 2026.
“Tee Higgins has been quietly having an extremely productive 2026 season. He leads the Bengals in receiving yards through their first five games with 423, and he's tied with Ja'Marr Chase in receptions with 27. Higgins has matched Chase in every stat except touchdowns, with only 1 so far in 2026, but I expect more, starting with one this weekend against the Ravens.
Baltimore has been susceptible to the pass at times this season. They've allowed the fifth-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers (1,054) and the seventh-most receptions (80). With the Bengals feeling fresh off a BYE, I expect Higgins to have another big performance, resulting in him scoring his second touchdown of the season.”
Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.

Bengals Have One Awkward Roster Decision Before Ravens Showdown
The Bengals head into their showdown with the Ravens in unusually good shape on the injury front, with no one carrying an injury designation into game day. Baltimore, meanwhile, will again be without Lamar Jackson, who is set to miss a third straight game with an ankle sprain, leaving Tyler Huntley to handle the quarterback duties in a matchup that still carries plenty of AFC North weight.
That leaves Cincinnati with one of the quieter but still important pregame questions: who gets left out of the active roster picture. A few of the newer and deeper reserves are in the mix as possible scratches, with recent signee Jack Kiser among the names worth watching as the Bengals sort through the final cutdown for this one. Backup offensive line depth is also part of the equation, and with the roster otherwise healthy, those decisions are where the only real pregame suspense seems to be. [Read more 🡒]
Bengals Get A Huge Week 7 Opportunity They Cannot Waste
The Bengals head into Week 7 coming off their bye with a chance to reset their season in one of the AFC Norths most familiar pressure points. A trip to Baltimore on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS is the kind of divisional test that can quickly change the mood around a team, especially one that needed the extra week to regroup and get ready for a stretch that can shape the rest of the fall.
Cincinnati also arrives with some encouraging health news, which matters when the margins in a division game are usually slim. The Ravens are waiting, the stage is set, and the Bengals have an opportunity they can ill afford to let slip if they want to leave October with real momentum. [Read more 🡒]
Bengals Suddenly Have A Troubling New Concern Around Erick All
Erick All Jr. was already a player the Bengals were watching closely, and Sunday added another layer of concern. The tight end was declared out for the rest of the game against the Ravens after a right knee injury, with the team confirming his status in an official post.
The timing is what makes it unsettling for Cincinnati, because it came after All left during the second half and involved the same knee that has already been through surgeries before. The Bengals also lost safety Kyle Dugger to a left quadriceps injury, leaving one more personnel problem to sort through as the game moved on. [Read more 🡒]
