Speedy wide receiver John Ross is projected to play this weekend.

The Cincinnati Bengals activated Ross to the 53-man roster from the Reserve/Injured list on Tuesday.

“He’s healthy and ready to go. We’re starting to incorporate him into the game plan,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said of Ross. “We’re doing a good job of mixing in those receivers, and making sure no one is getting worn down as the game goes and taking some reps off them.”

Ross’ return provides the Bengals with a much-needed vertical threat. Cincinnati’s lacked speed on the outside during Ross’ time on the sideline.
