    D.J. Reader Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

    The Cincinnati Bengals have designated defensive lineman D.J. Reader (knee) to return from Injured Reserve, which opens up his 21-day window to officially be activated from IR. Reader has been out for the last six games due to a sprained MCL, but he'll be able to return to practice this week and has a shot to come off IR to play as soon as Week 11 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers as the team comes off their Week 10 bye. The 28-year-old's return will beef up the interior of the Bengals' defensive line for the second half of the 2022 season. Before his injury, Reader played in only three games, recording 10 tackles (eight solo), three QB hits and a fumble recovery.

    Bengals Place D.J. Reader On Injured Reserve

    The Cincinnati Bengals placed defensive tackle D.J. Reader (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Thursday. He will be out a minimum of four weeks, but six weeks is the expected recovery time. Reader is dealing with an MCL injury to his left knee and will be out for the foreseeable future. With the 28-year-old defensive tackle out for a while, the Bengals will turn to rookie Zachary Carter on the interior of their defensive line, starting on Thursday night for a Week 4 matchup with the 3-0 Miami Dolphins.

    D.J. Reader To Miss Extended Period Of Time

    Initial tests revealed that Cincinnati Bengals star defensive tackle D.J. Reader (knee) will miss an extended period of time after suffering a knee injury in the Week 3 win over the New York Jets, according to a source. His injury isn't season-ending, but the Bengals will be without him for a while, starting this Thursday night against the 3-0 Miami Dolphins. It's bad news for the interior of the Bengals defensive line, as the 28-year-old is the team's top defensive tackle. Expect Zachary Carter to see more playing time moving forward at the position for Cincy. Reader is in his third season with the Bengals and had 10 tackles (eight solo), three QB hits and a fumble recovery in the first three weeks of the season.
