Cincinnati Bengals Week 17 injury report: Latest on Tee Higgins, Orlando Brown Jr., Amarius Mims and more

The Cincinnati Bengals have a path to the playoffs, but it requires being near flawless for the rest of the season and hoping that other results go their way. Their first test will be against the Denver Broncos, which is also in the playoff picture.

Let's examine the injury reports of some of the Bengals' main players ahead of the game.

Cincinnati Bengals Week 17 injury report

Tee Higgins' injury update

According to Fantasy Pros, Tee Higgins is questionable to play against the Denver Broncos in Week 17. The veteran wide receiver is dealing with ankle and knee injuries.

Higgins was a limited participant in all three training sessions in the lead-up to this week's game. The Bengals hope to have him on the Gridiron to avoid Sean Payton double- or triple-teaming Ja'Marr Chase in the crucial showdown.

Orlando Brown Jr.'s injury update

According to Yahoo Sports, the Cincinnati Bengals are set to welcome back Orlando Brown Jr. just in time for arguably the side's most important game of the season. The offensive tackle has missed his side's last three games due to a fibula injury.

However, he'll be available for selection against the Broncos following intense rehab and consistent training. Brown has been a constant presence for his team this season, as he's featured in 14 games.

Amarius Mims' injury update

According to the Bengals website, Amarius Mims is questionable to play against the Denver Broncos. The rookie offensive tackle suffered an ankle injury in his team's Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns.

However, Mims participated in every practice session leading to a must-win game against Sean Payton's Denver Broncos. He was a limited participant on Tuesday and Wednesday and a full participant on Thursday.

Sam Hubbard's injury update

According to the Bengals website, Sam Hubbard will miss this week's game against the Broncos. Hubbard suffered a torn PCL in his team's win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 15.

Hence, he'll likely be out for the rest of the regular season. The defensive end will be forced to watch his teammates attempt to keep their slim playoff hopes alive with a win against the Denver Broncos in Week 17.
