Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins will play on Monday against the Jaguars. The 24-year-old has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, the Bengals will be without their top cornerback.
Cam Taylor-Britt sprained his ankle during Friday’s practice. He was on track to play after missing last week’s game with a quad injury, but he won’t play on Monday night. Logan Wilson will play after tweaking his ankle at the end of Cincinnati’s Week 12 loss to Pittsburgh.
The Cincinnati Bengals will play their third primetime game in five weeks and this one will be their final primetime game of the season. It’ll be on the road against the 8-3 Jacksonville Jaguars, who are leading the AFC South and still in the running for the number one seed in the AFC playoffs.
This game would have been a lot more meaningful a few weeks ago but now that Joe Burrow is done for the year and the Bengals are 5-6 and out of the running for the top seed in the playoffs, the game has lost its luster. It’s a bigger game for the Jags, who have little room for error if they want to win their division and have a realistic chance at landing the top seed.
The Jacksonville Jaguars host the Cincinnati Bengals. We haven’t seen these two square off since 2021 when Trevor Lawrence was a rookie and Urban Meyer had a brief stint as the Jags’ head coach. Crazy times.
