D’Ante Smith-T Knee Questionable
Devin Cochran-T Knee Out (IR)

Higgins Playing for Bengals

While the absence of Burrow is devastating to the Cincinnati offense, it’s not all bad news on that side of the ball. Bengals WR Tee Higgins (hamstring/ankle) has been cleared to play. He’s missed the past three games.

Taylor-Britt suffered his foot injury in practice and was declared out for his second consecutive game. However, LB Logan Wilson (ankle/foot) will be playing against the Jaguars.

Illness was keeping reserve DT Jay Tufele out of practice this week. At the same time, a knee ailment was limiting practice time for backup T D’Ante Smith. Both are listed as questionable for the Week 13 MNF game.

Jaguars Etienne Cleared to Play

Even though his RB1 has been limited all week in practice, Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson announced that Etienne was good to go and would be playing against the Bengals. That’s a big boost if you’re considering betting on Jacksonville in your Bengals vs Jaguars picks.

Starting LT Cam Robinson hurt his knee late in last week’s win over the Houston Texans and was placed on IR. Starting LCB Tycen Campbell (hamstring) was limited in practice this week.

How Could Injuries Affect Bengals vs Jaguars Betting Lines?

With Browning at QB, the Bengals have run 17 offensive possessions over the past two games. The outcomes were two TDs and two field goals, along with one interception and 12 punts.

Getting Higgins back and giving Cincinnati back its 1-2 punch at WR with Ja’Marr Chase could help Browning. It also wouldn’t hurt if the Bengals could get their NFL-worst rushing attack in gear. They’re gaining a league-low 75.8 yards per game on the ground.

Jacksonville is suddenly dealing with a health issue at TE. Backups Brenton Strange (foot) and Luke Farrell (toe) are both carrying injury designations of questionable. Strange was unable to practice, while Farrell was limited. Beyond them, Leonard Taylor is on IR.

That leaves veteran Evan Engram as the Jaguars’ only healthy TE. He’s third among NFL TE in both targets (82) and receptions (64) and could be busy again on MNF, making him a good bet in tonight’s Bengals vs Jaguars props.

Walker Little, who’s started eight games this season at both guard and tackle, will slot into LT for Robinson, who’s expected to miss 3-6 weeks.

Campbell sat out two games with a hamstring injury, and then two more after reinjuring it on his first game back in the lineup. But he’s expecting to be playing against the Bengals.
