Schefter says Higgins out

[*pally*]

He posted this at 2:30 this morning

Bengals’ WR Tee Higgins, listed as doubtful for Sunday vs. the Steelers due to a shoulder injury, is not expected to play, per source.

"Not expected to play" is pretty much the definition of doubtful, but a lot probably is going to hinge on how Higgins feels when he wakes up this am. 

Either way, the Bengals are healthier than pitt, and have a real chance here to join the party in competing for a playoff spot.

I wonder who would make this decision at 2:30 AM?


But it is probably true.

That is a big hit for sure. Higgins is a big target. But we can beat the Steelers if we come out and smash them in the mouth the way we did last year on MNF.

Does Shefter ever sleep or is the dude just omnipotent? Lol

Saw that on my fantasy football page.

Sucks because he's a hell of a weapon but hopefully other guys step-up and we can get the job done without him.

Hopefully we can see some two tight end sets because that's the best way to attack a 3-4 anyways.

Seriously... That guy needs to get a life. Tweeting about Tee Higgins at 2 am. Not to mention, it's been apparent since Thursday he's not got to play this week.

That’s his job and he makes millions doing it. Having a “life” is overrated lol

Go to bed Adam... And again; anybody with Tee on their fantasy team knew he was out.

He was out drinking late at night most likely.

And now Tee Higgins starts being made of glass…

As to the time, he probably got a text earlier while he was asleep; woke up, checked his phone and tweeted it.

Not uncommon when you work in media to have a tip during a time you're asleep, in the shower, etc.
