Sources – Bengals are pessimistic that Tee Higgins will play against Eagles

CINCINNATI – The availability of one of the Cincinnati Bengals' best receivers for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles is in question.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins might be unavailable Friday after suffering a quadriceps problem, sources told ESPN's Dan Graziano on Saturday evening. Higgins' home game will be a game-time decision, but there is pessimism about his chances of taking the field.

Higgins was in good form earlier this week. He rushed for 75 or more yards in the last three games and played a key role in consecutive victories over the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns.

The fifth-year Clemson receiver had no issues until Friday, when he was limited to team practice and was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

Higgins missed two games early in the season with a soft tissue injury. After having no major problems in training camp, he suffered a hamstring injury a few days before the team's season opener against the New England Patriots. Higgins sat out that game and the subsequent game against Kansas City in Week 2.

In five games this season, Higgins has 29 receptions for 341 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
