In this story:

CINCINNATI — Myles Murphy and McKinnley Jackson have passed their physicals and are expected to practice on Wednesday.

Jackson hasn't practiced since suffering a knee injury in practice on Aug. 8. Meanwhile, Murphy suffered a MCL injury in the Bengals' joint practice with the Colts.

Both guys were placed on injured reserve, but are eligible to be activated this week. The Bengals have one open roster spot.

They would have to clear a spot to activate both players. By clearing Murphy and Jackson, the Bengals officially opened a 21-day window where both players can practice, but not take up a roster spot. They can re-join the roster at any time.
