Bengals injury updates immediately after Week 18 vs. Steelers

January 5, 2025 by Bengals Wire

The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the season finale to keep small playoff hopes alive.

In doing so, though, major names like Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins suffered injuries and/or setbacks.

While Burrow returned, Higgins wasn’t so fortunate.

Here’s a quick look at all of the known injury updates from right after the game ended.

 

QB Joe Burrow

Burrow remained down on the field after a sack in the third quarter and needed a trip to the blue medical tent, presumably for a concussion check. He returned on the neck drive, though.

 

WR Tee Higgins

Higgins left the game in the second half and the team declared him questionable to return due to an ankle injury. He entered the day with one but was playing through it fine until that point.

 

OL Cody Ford

Ford left the game in the second half and was labeled questionable to return with a chest injury.

 

Inactives

Running back Chase Brown attempted to warm up before the game despite the high ankle sprain suffered last week during the win over Denver, but ultimately was inactive.
