CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals' injury report for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles produced a mixed bag.
Wide receiver Tee Higgins is questionable for Sunday's game after he was limited in Friday's practice with a quadricep injury. His playing status will be evaluated throughout the weekend.
Higgins has dealt with soft-tissue injuries in the past, including earlier this season. He missed the first two games with a hamstring injury that popped up just a couple of days before the season opener against the New England Patriots. Since then, he has had a strong start to the year and tallied 75 receiving yards or more in each of the past three games.
Two starters, left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee) and safety Geno Stone (shin), will play in the Week 8 contest at Paycor Stadium, coach Zac Taylor said after Friday's practice. Brown and Stone were limited early in the week but made enough progress to be available at full strength for Cincinnati as the Bengals look to win their third straight game. Neither had an availability designation on the game status report issued Friday afternoon.
"You could see they were both sore the first two days," Taylor said. "But coming out of today, they were good."
Brown, who signed a four-deal worth $64 million in free agency in 2023, is having the best season of his career. He currently ranks first in pass block win rate as a tackle at 96.3%, which is the highest mark of his career.
The former Oklahoma standout will also keep his playing streak alive. He has only missed one regular-season game in his seven-year career -- a Week 17 game against the Bengals while Brown was with Kansas City. Sunday will be his 32nd consecutive start.
"You've gotta have some toughness to you to where you want to push through some things that I'm sure he's dealt with in his past," Taylor said Friday. "He's just a guy you can count on."
