Davis-Gaither (illness) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The fourth-year linebacker out of Appalachian State had been dealing with an illness, but it now seems as if he's well enough to play in Sunday's affair. Davis-Gaither has appeared in six games for the Bengals this season, recording four total tackles and playing almost strictly on special teams.
