Higbee caught just one of his seven targets for 31 yards during Sunday's loss to Carolina.
After receiving seven targets through the first seven games of the season, and hauling in just two of them, Sunday's uptick of volume in the passing game was slightly surprising. Unfortunately, Higbee didn't make the most of his opportunity, whereas fellow tight end Lance Kendricks caught seven passes for 90 yards against Carolina. It's likely best to maintain a wait-and-see approach with Higbee, especially since Kendricks has established himself as one of the go-to options in the passing attack.
