Bengals vs. Chargers Injury Report: Tee Higgins limited; Khalil Mack and Orlando Brown Jr. DNP

Positive movement on the injury front.

The Cincinnati Bengals were back on the practice field Wednesday as they started preparing for a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

A few key players are dealing with injuries, but hopefully, they can work their way back onto the field this week.

Joe Burrow has been on the report all year for receiving treatment on his right wrist, but this week, a left biceps injury was added to the report. Burrow was still a full participant in practice.

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) did not participate in team drills at practice but did work with trainers on the rehab field and was listed as limited. Media members who saw practice said Higgins was running sprints and doing work on a footwork ladder. There’s a real chance he will make his return this week, barring any setbacks.

Offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee/fibula) did not participate in practice or work with trainers, as he was not in uniform at all. Brown was with the offensive line watching, but that is the extent of his participation.

Head coach Zac Taylor noted that both players did participate in Wednesday morning’s walkthrough, which is expected of anyone who intends to play.

Wide receiver and return specialist Charlie Jones was also on the rehab field Wednesday. Jones did not participate in practice, but his getting work off to the side is still a good sign of his progress.

Defensive tackle BJ Hill (groin) did not practice. Hill suffered the injury in the Week 10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Hill still has a path to suit up on Sunday, so he will be a name to watch.

Star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson (neck) was limited, as was linebacker Logan Wilson (quad).

Linebacker Joe Bachie (hip) also sat out Wednesday.

For the Chargers, the big storyline is Khalil Mack (groin) getting a DNP. He played just four snaps last week vs. Tennessee before exiting, so it looks like he’s in real danger of missing this game.

Former Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst was listed as getting a personal day off.

Everyone else was able to practice, though key players like Joey Bosa (hip), Gus Edwards (ankle), Trey Pipkins (ankle), and Kristian Fulton (hamstring) were limited.
