Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Charlie Jones is currently on IR following thumb surgery, but he believes a return to the 53-man roster is coming soon.

Jones, selected in the fourth round out of Purdue, said this week that he had successful surgery on his thumb, while also expressing confidence he’ll be back on the roster as soon as he’s eligible for the IR-return designation.

If all goes well, Jones will be eligible to return for what should be a massive Week 9 matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

Charlie Jones said he had surgery on his thumb a couple of days ago and is confident he’ll be back as soon as the IR period ends (Week 9 vs Buffalo).
