The Ravens placed Higgins (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
Higgins was injured in last Sunday's win over the Vikings and was given a multi-week timetable for return, so his placement on injured reserve makes sense. Higgins has seen all of his action on special teams this season, logging six tackles (three solo) on 152 snaps.
Higgins (knee) is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Higgins, unsurprisingly, did not practice Wednesday. He does not have a specific timeline, but his absence will leave a void on the Ravens' special teams unit.

Higgins (knee) is expected to be sidelined for some time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Higgins suffered a knee injury in the team's 27-19 win over the Vikings on Sunday, but it's not expected to be a season-ending issue for the linebacker. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the injury Monday, and it's unclear exactly how long Higgins is expected to be sidelined. In the meantime, his absence doesn't carry an impact defensively, considering Higgins hasn't logged a snap from scrimmage this season.

Higgins was spotted with a brace on his leg following Baltimore's win over the Vikings on Sunday, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Higgins could be in danger of missing extended time due to the leg injury he sustained in the victory. The rookie undrafted free agent has played exclusively on special teams across the first eight games of the season.
