The Cincinnati Bengals practiced in the rain on Monday afternoon and just before the session concluded, the team avoided a scare with wide receiver Tee Higgins and safety Nick Scott.
Higgins jumped up in the air and as he tried to catch the pass, Scott collided with him and knocked him to the ground.
Following practice, Higgins said he “awkwardly” came down on his leg, but it was “nothing major.” Higgins was able to jog off but didn’t take another rep in practice after the collision. A member of the Bengals’ medical staff immediately tended to him but he was not removed from the practice field.
