Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins could miss Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a quad injury suffered in practice on Friday, according to a report from ESPN's Dan Graziano.

Per Graziano's report, the Bengals are planning to go right up until gametime before making a final decision on Higgins's Week 8 status, but there is growing pessimism about his ability to play on Sunday.

In five games this season for the Bengals, the 25-year-old Higgins has caught 29 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns. He is averaging a career-worst 11.8 yards per reception.

The Bengals and Eagles are set to kickoff at 1 p.m. ET in Cincinnati.
