CINCINNATI -- Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is confused with the narrative surrounding his current injury situation.
Higgins told ESPN on Thursday that his hamstring injury that has kept him out of practice this week is completely unrelated to his contract status. Higgins has not practiced since he injured a hamstring in practice on Sept. 5, just a few days before the team's season-opening loss to the New England Patriots.
But the fifth-year player made it known that he wants to be on the field.
"I just don't understand why fans think I'm faking an injury, when for me to get an extension for a contract, the deadline is over," Higgins told ESPN.
