Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Darius Phillips was designated to return from injured reserve and was set to join practice Thursday.

Phillips sustained a knee injury in Cincinnati's 21-17 loss to Buffalo on Sept. 22. He was placed on injured reserve four days later.

The 24-year-old collected 22 tackles and a forced fumble in 15 games (one start) during his rookie season in 2018. He recorded his first career interception against the Bills before he was injured.

Phillips was the second of two possible players that the team may designate for return from injured reserve. The first was wide receiver John Ross III, who returned Nov. 13.

Ross was sidelined with a shoulder injury sustained during the Bengals' 27-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Stealers on Sept. 30. He is eligible to return to game action Dec. 8 against the Cleveland Browns.

Guess that's it for any Jonah return this season...or does he have a roster spot? 

 

Asking for a friend.

I asked a friend and he told me that you should tell your friend that even if/when Ross and Phillips come back it will not affect the return of Fish Food Williams because Jonah is on a different kind type of list.

Jonah Williams injury happened before training camp, so he was placed on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list.  After the start of training camp, if you get injured and placed on IR, then you have to stay on IR all year long.  If you make the initial 53 man roster and are injured, after the the rosters are "final", then you can be placed IR with the ability to be recalled after 6 weeks.  Once a player is recalled, they have a 2 week roster exemption, where they can practice but not play until 8 weeks.  The team then has 21 days to make a decision. if after 21 days they are still injured, then the player can go back on IR for the rest of the year.  The PUP list rules are outside of the IR rules.  PUP rules allow players to come back to the roster after six weeks.  Once able to practice, the player from the PUP list has to be either re-instated to the roster within 6 more weeks, released, or they can be placed on IR for the rest of the season.   The six weeks does not start until the player is able to practice.  In Jonah's case, his six weeks has not started yet, as he has not yet practiced with the team. This is how they can be kept on the PUP List like AJ McCarron was in 2014, if they are unable to practice.  Players on the PUP or IR list do not count against the 53-man roster while they are out, but they do count against the 90-man roster limit.  

 

With Jonah Williams, once he is cleared to practice, he then would have 6 weeks to be re-instated or placed on IR, meaning that he could return all the way through December.
