I'm assuming tomorrow we hear about Murphy and/or Jackson

Has Hill practiced at all since the Hamstring injury?  The only thing I have heard is he has been on the rehab field stretching.  If he has not been ready to practice, are the coaches going to send him out there Sunday.  It would seem to me they would want to be cautious if he hasnt at least tested his hamstring in practice.

I don't know if Hill has been getting work on the rehab field like Murphy or McKinley, but my guess is he did last week. Hopefully Rankins who was not placed on IR is also rehabbing.

Hill and Rankins are vets, they won't need a lot of practice time once they are healthy.

Yes, too bad Cam is out for the year. He will be missed.

Bengals have cleared DE Myles Murphy and DT McKinnley Jackson to return to practice, and designated Jackson for return from IR. Murphy has been on the IR and designated for return since Aug. 27 with a knee injury, while Jackson has been on the list since Aug. 29 with a knee…

Great news right when we needed it badly.

I thought that I read somewhere that BJ Hill wanted to play on Sunday, but they held him back out of caution? If he did feel like he could play last week, I would take that as he is good to go this week.

We will see, it is true that BJ being a vet doesn't need as much practice as a rookie or 2nd year player so he is a possibility still.

Rankins is out though against the Ravens pretty sure.

I agree Hill doesnt need the practice time to be ready for the game.  My questioning about practice has more to do with about testing the hamstring in some way before he is sent out there Sunday firing off the defensive line at full force.  Those linemen drive with their legs and if Hill isnt 100% he could make the hamstring worse and miss even more playing time.

Yeah, he can stretch it in practice and before the game though. BJ hasn't had a ton of hammy issues unlike Tee.

But if the hammy isn't ready, rest it up BJ. I like what I have seen of Kris Jenkins and with McKinnley coming in we might be in a better
spot at both DT spots going into this one. Couldn't be worse, we have been slammed at the DT position this season.

Trey, BJ, Myles Murphy, and McKinnley Jackson are all dressed for practice and participating in stretch, We will see from the injury how limited they are

Jackson's been out since basically the end of the first week or so of Training Camp.
2 months out of action and has hardly had a chance to play on the field with the Bengals before that.
He will have a lot of catching up to do.

Even if active, I can't imagine he'd be more than an emergency usage, right?

I'm excited to see him on the field, but not yet.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Good to see most of the guys coming back.

Goal line Defense is where we might need McKinnley, he can still take up space and make a stop I would hope.

But could they not get that from Hill, Jenkins, Guy, and Tufele?
I just don't want to see McKinnley rushed into playing time and risking reinjury.
Plus I'm not convinced he's better at making a stop over the other guys just yet, despite his size.
If he had gone through a full preseason and a couple regular games under his belt, I'd be all for putting out there in some situations though.

[*pally*]

#Bengals DL individual work looking as good as it has all year with Myles Murphy and McKinnley Jackson back out there in 21-day window.

Plus, BJ Hill (hamstring) and Trey Hendrickson (stinger) were involved. Only Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) still working on side field.

Myles Murphy coming back is huge. Hubbard has been disappointing and Murphy was looking good at the end of last season. Hopefully he can provide some pressure because Hubbard has been useless in that department this season.

Hubbard has been playing injured.  A nagging injury.  he looked better against Panthers but not himself yet.

Maybe not overnight, as both of those guys will need to time to mature and develop as pro players. I will say that Jenkins looks promising so far, I'm anxious to see Jackson get a few reps.

HJe's a rookie that has never played an NFL snap and missed most of camp. Lou is not going to throw him to the wolves. He said he needs practice to feel the double teams and pressures.... and to quote Lou... "This is the Ravens" He ain't playing. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

Completely understand, it will take some time with McKinnley for sure.

[Essex Johnson]

Both practiced today in full, will see action on Sunday, Hill was limited but trending up to playing Sunday
