What happened: The Cincinnati Bengals cleared wide receiver Andrei Iosivas, cornerback Jalen Davis, and guard Brian Parker II to return to practice Thursday. Iosivas had been sidelined since late September following thumb surgery, while Davis landed on injured reserve on Sept. 29 with a hamstring issue. Parker also resumed practicing after being listed on injured reserve.
Why it matters: The returns provide depth across multiple units as Cincinnati looks to build momentum following a 34-17 road victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Zac Taylor noted earlier in the week that Iosivas had been progressing well in his recovery from surgery. Clearing the trio for practice begins their transition toward activation to the active roster.
By the numbers: Iosivas has caught 3 passes for 19 yards in 2026 through 2 games. Davis has made 10 tackles in 2026 through 3 games.
What to watch: The Bengals will evaluate all three players throughout practice before determining their readiness for game action. The team must formally activate each player to the 53-man roster before they can suit up on game day.
