Bengals at Jaguars injury report:

Jacksonville listed four players as questionable, but may have all four available Monday. Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Travis Etienne Jr. will play through his rib injury and cornerback Tyson Campbell was confident Saturday that he’d make his return to the lineup.

The Bengals will have Tee Higgins back in the lineup after being without the receiver for three games, but the team will be without cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt.

Advice and prediction

The Bengals have struggled to slow opposing tight ends and most recently allowed the Steelers’ Pat Freiermuth to have a career-best 120 yards last week. Expect to see a lot of Evan Engram on Monday and a strong likelihood he hits the OVER on his 43.5 yard total (-115).

Prediction: Jaguars 27, Bengals 16
