The team announced cornerback Jalen Davis is returning to practice Thursday. He had been on the injured/reserve list since Sept. 29 after he suffered a hamstring injury during the Bengals-Steelers week 3 matchup. Advertisement Guard Brian Parker will also return to practice Thursday. He has been on injured/reserve since Aug. 30 with a knee injury. Parker was selected by the Bengals with the 189th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. The returns come at a crucial point in the Bengals season. Having won four straight games, the Bengals are seeking revenge for one of their two blemishes on their 2026 record, when the Pittsburgh Steelers come to town for a Sunday night clash. The stakes couldn't be higher for a midseason matchup, not that games between the Bengals and Steelers ever need extra fuel to fire either side up.
