Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been ruled inactive for the team's Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots due to a hamstring injury. After being limited in practice earlier in the week, Higgins did not practice on Friday and was subsequently deemed doubtful for the game. His absence will lead to increased opportunities for other receivers on the roster, including Ja'Marr Chase, who is active but may have a limited workload due to illness.

• Tee Higgins is officially inactive for Week 1 due to a hamstring injury.
• Ja'Marr Chase is active but may have limited snaps.
