Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins exited Sunday’s 26-20 loss to the New England Patriots due to a concussion.
Higgins was injured when his head landed hard on the turf. He was motionless for several minutes before eventually being carted to the locker room with 4:45 left in the game.
New England cornerback Carlton Davis III, who had the coverage on a deep pass attempt, landed on Higgins and drove him into the ground. Davis was flagged for pass interference on the play.
Higgins, 26, had five receptions for 31 yards before departing.
Overall, Higgins has 40 catches for 575 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games.
The Bengals (3-8) have a short week and visit the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving night. Higgins is in jeopardy of missing the contest as he will need to clear protocol to be in position to play.
Cincinnati faced New England without star receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who was suspended one game for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey last week.
