The Cincinnati Bengals have cleared wide receiver Charlie Jones to practice by designating him for return from the injured reserve list, the team announced Wednesday.
Jones, a fourth-round rookie out of Purdue, has been on IR since September 29th with a thumb injury. Today starts a 21-day period when he may practice with the team without counting against the 53-player active roster. He is eligible to be activated to the 53-man roster at any time during that period.
This news comes as the Bengals may be without fellow wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase this week due to a back injury.
