Bengals' Tee Higgins: Optimism for Saturday vs. Denver

Higgins (ankle/knee) has improved throughout the week, and there is optimism he'll be able to play Saturday against the Broncos, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Higgins has dealt with a multitude of nagging injuries this season, but it seems to be trending toward him not missing any time with this latest issue. He had his ankle tweaked underneath him last Sunday against the Browns, but he was able to return and got in a round of limited practices this week. Saturday's matchup with the Broncos is as close to a must-win game as possible for both teams, so there's a lot riding on Higgins' availability.
