The Cincinnati Bengals have activated cornerback Trae Waynes and offensive guard D’Ante Smith from injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.
Waynes, a seventh-year player out of Michigan State, had been on IR with a hamstring injury since Oct. 12. He has played in two games (both starts) this season and has five tackles. He figures to play significant snaps this week with Chidobe Awuzie on the COVID-19 list.
Smith, a rookie out of East Carolina University, had been on IR with a knee injury since Oct. 16. He has played in one game this season.
