Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Myles Murphy and defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson were cleared to return to practice Wednesday.
The Bengals opened the 21-day practice window for both players, who began the season on injured reserve.
Murphy landed on IR on Aug. 27 with a knee sprain. Jackson joined him two days later, also with a knee injury.
Murphy, 22, was the Bengals’ first-round pick in 2023 and Jackson, also 22, was their third-round selection in 2024.
Murphy appeared in all 17 games (no starts) in 2023 and contributed three sacks and 20 tackles.
Cincinnati (1-3) hosts the Baltimore Ravens (2-2) in an AFC North contest on Sunday.
