The New England Patriots could catch a big break in Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday that Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, who is listed as doubtful on the injury report, is expected to miss the season opener against the Patriots.
Along with Higgins being out, Ja'Marr Chase is questionable with an illness and will likely be a game-time decision on Sunday. Chase has been holding out for a new contract. Even if he does play in the game, he stated he would be limited in action.
