The Bengals offense has taken another significant hit. Wide receiver Tee Higgins, who exited Sunday’s game against the Titans, reportedly suffered a rib fracture, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Higgins sustained the injury during Sunday’s Week 4 game. He had two catches for 19 yards before leaving the contest. Cincinnati fell to 1-3 after losing a 27-3 decision to Tennessee.

“#Bengals WR Tee Higgins, who was declared out today, suffered a rib fracture, source said,” Rapoport wrote on X. “Could keep him off the field for a bit.”

At this time, it’s unclear how long Higgins could be sidelined. Given how much the Bengals have struggled through the first four games, though, it’s a significant loss for the team.
