The Cincinnati Bengals cleared tight end Mike Gesicki and safety Daijahn Anthony to return to practice on Wednesday.

Gesicki has been on injured reserve since Oct. 15 with a pectoral injury and Anthony has been on the list since Aug. 26 with a hamstring injury.

Gesicki, 30, caught eight passes for 61 yards in six games (one start) before sustaining the injury in a Week 6 loss at Green Bay.

He has 333 catches for 3,587 yards and 22 touchdowns in 121 games (45 starts) for the Miami Dolphins (2018-22), New England Patriots (2023) and Bengals.

Anthony, 25, was a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and appeared in 13 games as a rookie, totaling three tackles and one pass defensed.

The Bengals (3-7) host the New England Patriots (9-2) on Sunday.

The Bengals have a 21-day window to elevate the players to the 53-man active roster or shut them down for the rest of the season.
