The Cincinnati Bengals are riding a four-game winning streak which they hope to increase to five when they take on the Houston Texans this week. But they may not have a full contingent of wide receivers for that game.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, wide receiver Tee Higgins suffered a hamstring injury in practice yesterday and is now week-to-week with the injury. Per the report, he is expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Texans.
“#Bengals WR Tee Higgins, who did not practice today after injuring his hamstring in practice yesterday, is expected to miss this Sunday’s game vs the #Texans, sources say. He’ll be evaluated on a week-to-week basis going forward,” Rapoport wrote.
Higgins is the Bengals’ No. 2 wide receiver with 27 receptions for 328 yards and two touchdowns on the season. He has had over 900 receiving yards in each of the last three seasons.

Tee Higgins had eight receptions for 110 yards in the Bengals’ win over the Buffalo Bills this past week. He’s had at least two receptions in each of the last six games.
Who will step up to replace Higgins in Week 10?
