CINCINNATI -- It didn't matter where Tee Higgins was lined up during the joint practice against the Chicago Bears on Aug. 15.
The defenders made sure to communicate where the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver was on the field. Even when he wasn't the primary target on a given play, the Bears defenders would bark out "Tee's over here!" as an alert for the team's top available playmaker.
For the last two years, Higgins has wanted to show that he's capable of being a No. 1 wide receiver. With Ja'Marr Chase absent while he awaits a new contract, Higgins has had the opportunity to step into that role and is making the most of it.
