Tee Higgins is available to play on Sunday. The Bengals receiver missed Week 13 with a concussion but cleared protocol in time for the game versus Buffalo. Despite playing without him, Cincinnati won 32-14 over Baltimore on Thanksgiving.

Joe Burrow returned to action after missing two months due to a turf toe injury. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase told reporters after the game that he was like Captain America.

"Joe's just doing what Captain America does, save the day for us," Chase said. "That's what we need him to do as a quarterback, as a leader of the offense of the whole team."

Higgins and Chase will both be on the field with Burrow for the first time since Week 2. Cincinnati's offense is back to full strength at receiver, minus Jermaine Burton.

The Bengals (4-8) trail Pittsburgh and Baltimore by two games in the AFC North with five weeks left.
