Higgins Questionable for Week 16 Despite Full Practice, Nearing Protocol Clearance

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He was a full participant in practice Friday, an upgrade from earlier limited sessions, suggesting he is trending toward being cleared. However, Higgins still needs to pass the final step of the NFL's concussion protocol with an independent neurologist. If cleared, the star wide receiver is expected to return to action after missing two of Cincinnati's last three games, including their Week 15 loss.
