The Bengals will welcome back Giovani Bernard to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Bernard (hip) has been out since injuring himself in a win over the Ravens on Oct. 26. Rookie running back Jeremy Hill stepped in well as the starter, which included a 157-yard effort a week ago.

Bernard will likely be eased back in to the rotation since he's missed about a month of time. Plus, Hill has done quite some damage against teams in recent weeks.
