Bengals Activate Rookie Wide Receiver Off of Injured Reserve Ahead of Battle With Ravens

Wide receiver Andrei Iosivas is out for tonight's game against Baltimore, but another rookie might just fill that role as Cincinnati activated Charlie Jones (thumb) off of injured reserve.

Jones hasn't had much wide receiver experience this season, but he does hold the best punt return average in the sport among players with at least three returns (18.8 yards). It's unknown if he'll take that spot back over from Trenton Irwin right away after he scored the Bengals' first punt return touchdown this decade against Baltimore.

Irwin has been sure-handed, but not explosive, ranking 14th in average return yards (9.8 yards)

Another impact play like Jones pulled off in the first CIN-BAL matchup this season could go a long way towards Cincinnati entering a mini-bye week at 6-4, instead of 5-5.
