The Cincinnati Bengals sounded optimistic right from the jump that wide receiver Tee Higgins was quickly on the right track after suffering a concussion against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Buy Bengals TicketsThat proved true on Wednesday as Higgins was out there doing light work in practice as the team preps to play the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2.
“He’s making good progress through the protocol,” head coach Zac Taylor said in his Wednesday press conference. “I can’t 100 percent predict [if he’s going to play] today, I just know he’s cleared the hurdles so far that he needs to clear.”

Officially, Higgins went “limited” on Wednesday.
