Anthony (hamstring) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.
The second-year pro from Ole Miss has not played for the Bengals this season due to a hamstring injury. He now has 21 days to be added to Cincinnati's active roster before reverting to IR, and he'll likely operate as one of the team's top special-teamers once fully healthy.

Bengals' Daijahn Anthony: Cincinnati adds in seventh round
Rotowire
The Bengals selected Anthony in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 224th overall.
Anthony had to walk on at Shepherd and Liberty before getting a chance to play one season at Mississippi, and he managed to parlay that into becoming an NFL draft pick. Heartening as his story might be, Anthony mostly has the profile of an NFL special teamer. He played safety for Mississippi, but at 6-feet, 195 pounds he's built more like a corner. The Bengals might try to develop him as a slot/safety tweener in upcoming years.
