Cincinnati Bengals rookie linebacker Markus Bailey got the all-clear sign ahead of training camp.

Bailey, originally on the NFI, passed his physical, according to Jay Morrison of The Athletic.

The Purdue product, along with fellow rookie Khalid Kareem, was one of two players the Bengals put on the NFI last week. It was a formality of a move though because both had dealt with injuries in college and both had still counted against the roster.

With Bailey in the fold, the Bengals appear mostly healthy along the new-look linebacker unit. He joins fellow rookies Akeem Davis-Gaither and Logan Wilson as some of the new faces.

An extremely productive college player who fell to the seventh round largely due to his injury history, some have already suggested Bailey could end up being a surprise starter for the Bengals in 2020.
