The Bengals are getting healthy at the right time. For Sunday’s AFC North matchup against the Ravens, they’ll have four critical defenders back in the lineup to face Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.
Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor says Trey Hendrickson, Myles Murphy, B.J. Hill, and McKinnley Jackson will all play.

Hendrickson was forced to leave last Sunday’s win over the Panthers with a stinger, but he has been able to practice all week. Head coach Zac Taylor said at a Friday press conference that he will play against Baltimore. Hendrickson has nine tackles and three sacks so far this season.
Murphy has been on the Reserve/Injured list and designated for return since Aug. 27 with a knee injury, while Jackson has been on the list since Aug. 29 with a knee injury.
Jackson is set to make his NFL debut. The rookie defensive tackle spent the first four weeks of the season on injured reserve.
They’ll need the reinforcements, as Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and the Ravens have rushed for 881 yards (6.4 yards-per-carry) in their first four games.
