The Cincinnati Bengals have returned defensive tackle D.J. Reader and defensive end Wyatt Ray to the active roster from the COVID-19 list. Both players had been on the list since Dec. 25.
In addition, the Bengals have signed free agent long-snapper Colin Holba to the practice squad.
Getting Reader back is huge news for a Bengals defense that’s getting set to play arguably the best offense in the NFL right now in the Kansas City Chiefs. Reader currently has an 81.7 Pro Football Focus grade, one of the best of any defensive lineman in the NFL.
