Bengals QB Joe Burrow returned from his turf toe injury in his first action since Week 2. The first half showed some rust with Burrow missing a few TD passes and the Bengals settling for 4 FGs. But he bounced back for a strong second half. Burrow’s final stat line was 24/46 with 261 yards and 2 TDs.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow's most likely return date from his toe injury is Week 14 against the Bills, according to NFL Network. Week 13 against the Ravens on Thanksgiving night is also still on the table, per Rapoport. Burrow reportedly plans to return this season regardless of Cincinnati's record. He had an impressive week of practice, participating in individual drills and 7-on-7 work. "I'm not going to say I'm impressed because that's how it always looks," HC Zac Taylor said on Wednesday,. "But he was really sharp." We'll continue to keep you updated on Burrow's progress.

Bengals QB Joe Flacco (shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bears. He only got in a limited practice on Thursday, although HC Zac Taylor said Friday morning that he “saw what he hoped to see for a guy to be able to play on Sunday” in that Thursday practice. We’ll look for more updates on Flacco, but he’d come with elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he plays through this throwing shoulder injury. If not, Cincinnati will turn back to QB Jake Browning, who was horrible in three starts earlier this year.

Bengals QB Joe Flacco's status for Sunday's game vs. the Bears is "up in the air" due to the AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder he suffered in the Week 8 loss to the Jets, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. HC Zac Taylor labeled Flacco "day to day" earlier this week, so this doesn't seem like a serious injury. But we're talking about a 40-year-old QB with a bad throwing shoulder. It wouldn't be at all surprising if Flacco is unable to suit up on Sunday. His absence would force the Bengals to turn back to QB Jake Browning, who was terrible in three starts earlier this season. He'd be a significant downgrade for WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

NFL Network reports that Bengals QB Joe Burrow is believed to have suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury in the Week 2 win over the Bengals. If confirmed, Burrow will need surgery and miss "at least 3 months." ESPN's Adam Schefter adds that images of Burrow's toe are being sent to foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson before a final decision is made.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (rest, knee) is not listed on the final Week 16 injury report. He only got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, but HC Zac Taylor said that Higgins is just being managed and will be ready for his usual role against the Browns on Sunday.

After being limited on Wednesday, Bengals WR Tee Higgins did not practice on Thursday. He's listed on the injury report with "rest" and "knee." According to ESPN's Ben Baby, Higgins did work off to the side of Thursday's practice and "should be on track for Sunday vs. Browns." We'll update Higgins' status again on Friday afternoon.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins had a big game Sunday night in his return from a three-week quad injury. Higgins caught a team-high nine passes for 148 yards and a TD in the loss to the Chargers. He tied WR Ja'Marr Chase for the target lead (13) and trailed Chase's team lead in routes by just five. Chase caught seven balls for 75 yards and 2 TDs against the Chargers.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (quad) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He was limited in practice all week but will play against the Chargers on Sunday night. “Felt amazing this week, and I'm ready to go,” he said Friday. Higgins has averaged 9.0 targets, 5.8 catches, 68 yards, and 0.6 TDs over his five games this season. Consider him a high-end WR2 in Week 11 fantasy lineups.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor said Friday that WR Tee Higgins (quad) was "close" to playing vs. the Ravens on Thursday night. "You have to be very careful with a quad injury. I think he’s progressing along well," Taylor added. It sounds like Higgins has a reasonable chance to make it back for Week 11's game against the Chargers. We'll keep tabs on his status when the Bengals get back to work next week.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (quad) did not practice on Tuesday. He seems unlikely to be available for Thursday night's game vs. the Ravens, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow. Higgins' absence would lock in Mike Gesicki as a top-10 TE play this week.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (quad) is considered "day to day," HC Zac Taylor said Monday. That suggests Higgins' injury isn't serious and that he has a chance to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. We'll track his status throughout the week. Higgins owners should still be making backup plans in case he misses another game.

ESPN's Dan Graziano hears that there's "pessimism" about Bengals WR Tee Higgins' availability for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. Higgins was added to the injury report with a quad on Friday, limited in practice, and listed as questionable. "The Bengals are planning to go right up until game time before deciding" on Higgins' status, Graziano adds. We'll look for more updates on Higgins on Sunday morning and get Cincinnati's inactives around 11:30 am ET. His absence would mean more target potential for WR Ja'Marr Chase, WR Andrei Iosivas, and the Bengals RBs and TEs. It'd also be a significant loss for QB Joe Burrow.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins was added to the injury report with a quad and limited in practice on Friday. He's listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. We'll look for further updates on his status and get Cincinnati's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Higgins' absence would be a big blow to the Bengals offense. He leads the team with 45 targets over the last five games.
