The Bengals today cleared LB Shaka Heyward to practice by designating him for return from the Reserve/Injured list.
Heyward, a second-year player, has been on the Reserve/Injured list since Oct. 28 with a fibula injury. Today starts a 21-day period during which he may practice with the team without counting against the 53-player active roster. He is eligible to be activated to the roster at any time during that period.
