The Bengals announced that OT Hakeem Adeniji has been designated to return from the non-football injury list.
Roster Update: We've cleared OT Hakeem Adeniji to return to practice.
— Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) October 20, 2021
The team says Adeniji has a 21-day window to practice with the team before he has to be added back to the active roster.
The second-year player tore his pectoral muscle back in June and needed surgery that was believed to be season-ending at the time. So this is a welcome boost for the Cincinnati offensive line.
Adeniji, 23, was drafted by the Bengals in the sixth round out of Kansas in 2020. He’s entering the second year of a four-year, $3.5 million deal and is set to make a base salary of $780,000 in 2021.
In 2020, Adeniji appeared in 15 games and made five starts for the Bengals.
