The Cincinnati Bengals are getting ready for their game against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday.
However, one of their star players is currently a game time decision before kickoff.
So who’s this key player, and what are the chances he can play on Sunday?
Tee Higgins Is The Player Who’s A Gametime Decision
According to Jay Morrison, Tee Higgins is questionable going into Sunday’s game, but will be a game-time decision.
Tee Higgins, Jonah Williams, Hayden Hurst listed as questionable for the #Bengals.
Zac sounded optimstic about Jonah, and Hurst has been questionable and played the last couple of weeks.
But Tee will be a game-time decision with the ankle.

He’s dealing with an ankle injury, which he re-aggravated during the Bengals’ Sunday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Higgins is one of Joe Burrow‘s quiet weapons, as he’s averaging 15.8 yards per reception this season.
While most defenses focus on Ja’Marr Chase, it leaves Burrow plenty of chances to target Higgins.
With him being a game-time decision, most are wondering what are his chances of playing.
Higgins Might Play Through The Pain On Sunday
While the ankle injury isn’t new, he’s played through the pain of his ankle injury.
He first suffered the ankle injury back in 2021 against the Los Angeles Chargers in week 13.
However, he continued to play out the season, despite his injury.
With his history of playing through an ankle injury, it’s possible he can do it again.
But with him being a key part of the Bengals offense in 2022, the team can’t risk losing him for the season.
Zac Taylor, the Bengals head coach, realizes this, which is why he’s a game-time decision.
He’s putting his faith in Higgins to tell him if he’s ready to play, and will put him on the field if he’s ready on Sunday.
