Help is on the way for the Cincinnati Bengals. 

Ahead of the Week 10 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Bengals announced that three players have been cleared to return to practice: 

• CB Jalen Davis

• WR Andrei Iosivas

• G Brian Parker

All three players are now designated to return from injured reserve, opening the 21-day return period in which they are permitted to practice, but don’t count against the active 53-man roster. 

It's unknown how long each of the three players will need within the 21-day window to be officially activated to the roster, which currently stands at 52 players. The Bengals will need to make corresponding moves once this happens.

Davis is the starting slot corner, where Josh Newton has been starting, permitting Dax Hill to remain on the boundary. Various names such as rookie Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers have been helping out at wideout in that third slot normally belonging to Andrei Iosivas.
