Higgins was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the team following a stellar college career at Clemson.

The Bengals intend to use their franchise tag on the 25-year-old's name on Friday, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Higgins' franchise tag number is expected to be about $21.8 million, completely guaranteed, according to Rapoport. Cincinnati has until March 5 to sign him on a long-term contract, with Higgins being the first franchise tag player this offseason. Despite being forced to battle with a fractured rib, hamstring, and ankle injury this season, Higgins was a reliable target for Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Cincinnati's offense began to develop around them, with three-time Pro Bowler Ja'Marr Chase playing parallel to Higgins.

During Cincinnati's 27-24 overtime victory over the Minnesota Vikings, Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins launched a play of the year contest. Higgins first jumped in front of Vikings corner Akayleb Evans for a 21-yard pass from quarterback Jake Browning before showing off his agility and stretching his arm to pass the ball just over the goal line. Higgins' touchdown tied the game at 24-24 with just less than a minute remaining on the game clock, which was a highlight.

PETER CARLINE: A fortnight in a week-to-week competition can seem like a lifetime. Two weeks ago, San Francisco was unbeaten and looked unstoppable. The Niners are now 5-2 following back-to-back losses on the road. The first game against Cleveland and back-up quarterback PJ Walker was horrible, but it was just about explainable. The Browns were coming off a bye and had a tense defensive unit, and rookie kicker Jake Moody of the Niners missed a game-winning field goal attempt. However, cracks are emerging in Minnesota after Monday night's reversal.

After being injured during a game Friday night, a Pennsylvania high school quarterback is in critical shape.

It's rare that athletes who suffer from cardiac arrest resurface and return to play. Bronny James may have the opportunity to do just that. Bronny, LeBron James' uncle and an incoming freshman at USC, had his heart stop at a basketball practice on Tuesday. He was admitted to Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and has since been released after going unconscious. Now, his journey to recover has begun. Young athletes' arrests are not new, nor is it believed to be a result of the COVID vaccine. Even before the pandemic, cardiac arrest was the most common cause of death among young athletes, with statistics indicating that 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 1 in 1 80,000 youth athletes suffer from sudden cardiac arrest each year.

Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills' safety, returned to work on Tuesday as he donned his familiar No. 66. At the team's voluntary minicamp, there are three blue practice jerseys. His return to the football field just five months after he suffered with the Cincinnati Bengals' Higgins in scenes that stunned the NFL. Doctors recently allowed the 25-year-old to return to football after suffering from his cardiac arrest. Hamlin said commotio cordis was the reason for the outbreak at a recent press conference. Hamlin was involved in individual drills and the stretching portions of preparations for returning to football, though he was held back from participating in team sessions.

Damar Hamlin's return to football this week brought another new positive chapter to the player he tackled before his on-field cardiac arrest in January. Hamlin was injured on the field on January 2 after colliding with Higgins in scenes that shocked the NFL. He was held in the University of Cincinnati Medical Center before being released nine days later. He was pictured with Higgins and two other Bengals players, wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd.

Following his near-death experience in Cincinnati on January 2, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin announced his intention to return to the league, and in doing so, he disclosed the reason for his on-field cardiac arrest: commotio cordis. 'It's a direct blow at a precise point in your heartbeat that causes cardiac arrest,' Hamlin told reporters after his workout with colleagues at the Bills facility in Orchard Park, New York, on Tuesday. You're about to go down, and that's pretty much what everyone was seeing on January 2 of this year.' During the game, Hamlin tackled Bengals receiver Tee Higgins before returning to his feet, wobbling, and collapsing on Paycor Stadium turf, where he had to be resuscitated. He was administered oxygen, put on a stretcher, and rushed to a local hospital in critical condition.

According to various outlets, former Cincinnati Bengals safety Jessie Bates is expected to sign a four-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons for $64.02. In the first two years of the contract, he is expected to have earned him $36 million, with $23 million in the first two years. More importantly, he will be the fourth-best paid safety in NFL history.

Despite the free agency looming, the Cincinnati Bengals have made it clear to all other 31 teams around the league that its star receiver Tee Higgins isn't available for trade. In an interview with NFL Scouting Combine Duke Tobin, the Bengals' director of player relations denied the suggestion that the team might be interested in discussing a departure for the 24-year-old this offseason. He also said that Cincy's front office hadn't received any calls from other teams, and that even if it did, sending Higgins away was not part of the team's long-term strategy.

Elijah Garcia, left, died on Friday morning after he collapsed during football practice in Newark, New Jersey. Because no one in the immediate area knew CRP, the 12-year-old was forced to wait more than 30 minutes for an ambulance. His surviving family is now urging for all youth sports coaches to be CPR certified, which is not yet mandated under New Jersey state law.

Hamlin was hospitalized on the field after a collision with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins during the Bills' Week 17 game against Cincinnati. In his first interview since the incident, the 24-year-old told Good Morning America's Michael Strahan that he watched the hit 'once or twice' while in the ICU, but admitted that he didn't have enough time to rewatch it. When asked if he remembered standing up after landing the strike, he also admitted that it wasn't something he didn't want to get too deep into detail.'

During the Bills' pivotal Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Hamlin (left and right), 24, suffered cardiac arrest, and collapsed on the field. Since being greeted with a blow on the Bengals' Tee Higgins, the Pittsburgh native has made a remarkable comeback in the weeks. Though Hamlin plans to return to the league, league chief medical officer Allen Sills (inset) confirmed the Bills are making arrangements for him to consult with additional health specialists.

The Cincinnati Bengals' championship window should remain open for years, according to Joe Burrow. After the Bengals clinched their second straight AFC North title, the franchise quarterback said, 'The window is my whole career.' His complacency is understandable given the offensive weapons available: Wide receivers Ja r. Chase and Tee Higgins have combined for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, making them the first two Bengals wideouts to do so since Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh in 2006 and 2007.

Although the stricken star recovers at home, the Buffalo Bills trainer who gave CPR to Damar Hamlin after he collapsed mid-game from a cardiac arrest has been nominated for NFL's Most Valuable Player. According to the Associated Press, Denny Kellington (right), 44, was given the fifth-place vote by ESPN host Suzy Holber, who said the vote was a "symbolic gesture" indicating "everyone." They seldom get the praise they so richly deserve,' she continued. Since suffering a cardiac arrest during the game on January 2, he has been credited with saving Hamlin's (left, top inset is moment of collapse) life. Tee Higgins, the Cincinnati Bengals' receiver, sustained a hit by the Buffalo Bills' safety. He arose briefly, but then collapsed to the ground, where he lay motionless.

According to a recent report, the Bills-Bengals suspension last week revealed the inside workings of the team - not the NFL - that caused the decision to cancel the game. The Monday night matchup was officially postponed more than an hour after Damar Hamlin suffered a heart arrest after defeating Tee Higgins, but it may not have been the final result if not for the players digging their heels in. An unidentified team official told ESPN, 'The league did not cancel the game.' The Bills and the Bengals called off the game.'

Bart Scott, an ESPN analyst, has stated that he was not responsible for Damar Hamlin's death. Hamlin, 24, died after landing a tackle on Higgins in the first quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals in the first quarter. He had to be resuscitated on the track and then admitted to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition, but he has made strides forward and is now breathing on his own. Scott was branded "despicable" earlier this week after saying that Higgins had lowered his helmet on the play, prompting Hamlin to be struck on the chest. When asked by co-host Alan Hahn, the former linebacker appeared to retract his remarks and insisted that Higgin was not at fault on ESPN New York's 'Bart & Hahn' on Wednesday.

A number of people have been praised for their efforts following Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest on the field, but none more so than Denny Kellington, whose quick reactions saved the safety's life. Hamlin collapsed after landing a foul on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter, prompting medical staff to step in. Brain injuries can be fatal in patients with cardiac arrest with tissue death within minutes of being deprived of oxygen, and Kellington's prompt reaction to administering CPR to Hamlin has been a matter of life or death. People began looking for the man who started doing life-saving CPR after word broke that Hamlin was showing signs of improvement and was in touch with his colleagues. Kellington, a University of Oklahoma who has been with the Bills for five years, had to spend over a decade as the head athletic trainer at Syracuse University, was the man.

Higgins (right), 23, was involved in the blow (left) that came right before the 24-year-old Hamlin (inset) collapsed into cardiac arrest during ESPN's last regular season broadcast of Monday Night Football at Paycor Stadium. 'Obviously it's been difficult, but you know I had something to do with the game (and) whatnot),' Higgins said in his first public appearance since the Bills-Bangels game's suspension. However, everyone has been making me feel better.' I talked to his mother and it's fine, he's doing well, so I'm in a good situation right now.'

Hamlin, 24, is 'awake' and has made'substantial improvements' since suffering a cardiac arrest during Monday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Denny Kellington, Bills' assistant, gave Hamlin life-saving CPR on the track after he fell victimizing Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins before the safety was taken to the hospital. McDermott praised the assistant trainer as a 'true hero' during the Bills' first media appearance since the incident.

After Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a heart arrest during Monday's match against the Bengals in Cincinnati, President Joe Biden spoke out about the dangers of football. When asked if he thinks the NFL is'getting too exciting,' Biden replied that the risks of the game are unavoidable. 'No look,' Biden began. "I don't know how to prevent it [dangerous hits]. I find it hilarious that the helmets and the concussion protocols make a lot of sense. However, it's risky, so you've got to accept it.' Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after making a tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter of Monday's game. He was giving CPR on the field and demanded resuscitation. He is now in critical condition in the University of Cincinnati Medical Center's intensive care unit.
