The Buccaneers designated Cichy (hamstring) for a return off injured reserve Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cichy has resided on IR since Oct. 12, as he suffered the hamstring injury in Week 5's loss to the Bears. The team will now have 21 days to activate the Wisconsin product, but until then, Chapelle Russell and Kevin Minter will continue to handle the depth inside linebacker snaps.
