Tee Higgins Back At Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) returned to practice on Monday after being away last week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette only hit 80 percent of the team's offensive snaps last year once in the first 10 games.

New Orleans Saints rookie first-round offensive tackle Trevor Penning (foot) has a chance to be ready by early November, according to sources.
