Tee Higgins will not play in today's game against the Patriots due to a hamstring injury. He was added to the injury report late in the week and did not practice on Friday. With Higgins sidelined, Trenton Irwin is expected to take over most of his snaps, while Andrei Iosivas and Mike Gesicki may also benefit from increased targets.

The Athletic's Paul Dehner highlights the rising expectations for Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki as he shows versatility in training camp. Gesicki has been utilized in various formations, both inline and in the slot, indicating that the team plans to leverage his skills effectively this season.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry will miss Sunday night's game against the Denver Broncos due to a knee injury.

The Patriots have downgraded TE Hunter Henry (knee) from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. His absence would seem to be good news for Mike Gesicki, and it might mean a boost in playing time. But Henry and Gesicki don't play exactly the same position. Gesicki has run 71.7% of his pass snaps from the slot so far, according to Pro Football Focus, plus another 19% out wide. Henry has spent 48.1% in the slot; 43.5% inline. TE Pharoah Brown might be the more direct playing-time beneficiary of Henry's absence. Henry'scoming off season highs in targets, catches, and yards, which probably inflates the perception of what he's leaving available. Before last week, Henry was averaging just 4.0 targets and 2.7 receptions per game. Neither Gesicki nor Brown looks all that attractive for fantasy use.
