The Bengals only partook in a light practice session, having played on Monday night, but Eifert was among those who were active on Wednesday. Eifert was bounced from action early in Week 14, which is the last time he has seen game action, but it appears that the star tight end is on track for making his return in Week 17.
Fantasy impact: It remains to be seen if Eifert will be cleared in time for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, but the team would like all hands on deck in a game that could give the Bengals a first-round bye. With Andy Dalton still ailing due to a thumb injury, a first-round bye would be paramount to the Bengals' success in a playoff run.
Eifert would be a top-five TE1 if active on Sunday, but fantasy owners will have to monitor practice reports throughout the week.
