Overview

  • Cincinnati announced Wednesday that Gesicki and Anthony were designated to return to practice ahead of Week 12 against the Patriots.
  • Gesicki went on injured reserve Oct. 15 with a pectoral injury sustained in the Week 6 loss at Green Bay, after six appearances and eight receptions this season.
  • Anthony has not played this season after going on injured reserve Aug. 26 with a hamstring injury; he was a 2024 seventh-round pick.
  • Under NFL rules, both players can practice for up to 21 days without counting against the active roster, and the team can activate either at any point in that window.
  • Reports describe Gesicki’s return to practice as encouraging for Cincinnati’s passing options, though his availability for Week 12 is not assured.
