The Bengals designated Anderson (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Cincinnati placed Anderson on injured reserve back on Sept. 2 due to a hamstring issue, and he'll now be able to partake in wild-card prep after missing the entire regular season. Once activated to the Bengals' active roster, the rookie likely won't play a huge role defensively, as fellow safeties Vonn Bell and Jessie Bates seem to have their starting spots locked up for this year's postseason run.
