Higgins was a limited participant in practice throughout the week. He spoke to ESPN on Friday about potentially returning to action for the Bengals.

"I'm very excited [to] get back out there with the guys," Higgins said. "Just sitting there watching, I hate it, you know what I'm saying? Not being able to contribute to help get a win, it sucks. So I'm very excited to go out there and fight.

"Anything you saw in practice with him doing rehab, doing individual stuff was all stuff we had coordinated all week to make sure that he was in a great spot. And right now, we're in a great spot."

Higgins suffered his quadriceps injury in practice on Oct. 25, just a few days before the Bengals' Week 8 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles. He missed Cincinnati's Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and the Week 10 loss against the Baltimore Ravens.

Higgins previously missed two games at the start of the season due to a hamstring injury. He made his season debut against the Washington Commanders in Week 3.
