Bengals Plan to Use Franchise Tag on WR Tee Higgins
1 min read
Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins proved his resilience and talent during the 2021 season, despite battling injuries. Higgins played 11 games and had an impressive 42 receptions for 656 yards and five touchdowns. Known as a reliable target for quarterback Joe Burrow, Higgins formed a dynamic duo with fellow receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
The Bengals finished fourth in the division with a 9-8 record, facing challenges with significant injuries to key offensive players. Burrow himself was sidelined in November due to a torn ligament in his right wrist. Backup quarterback Jake Browning stepped in admirably, going 4-3 as a starter. In Week 16 against the Steelers, Higgins shined with a season-high 140 receiving yards.
Despite the ups and downs, Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin expressed the team’s commitment to keeping Higgins. This signals the Bengals’ dedication to retaining their young, talented core for the upcoming season. Fans can expect to see more exciting plays from Higgins as he continues to develop and contribute to the team’s success on the field.
