Jermaine Burton - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Healthy for Week 1 Burton (knee) did not appear on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burton suffered a knee injury in the team's preseason finale against the Colts, but he now appears to be a full go at practice. The wide receiver will operate as a depth option behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Browns.

Injures knee in preseason game Burton injured his knee during Saturday's preseason loss to the Colts, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burton missed some recent practices and didn't play in Cincinnati's second preseason game, dealing with an undisclosed injury. It turns out his knee was the problem, and he may have aggravated it Saturday afternoon. Either way, his presence on the field with second- and third-stringers Saturday isn't a good sign for Week 1 involvement on offense. Charlie Jones and/or Mitchell Tinsley may be ahead of Burton on the depth chart, in which case Burton's best chance at contributing would be returns on special teams.

Nearing return Burton (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day and making good progress, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Bengals held Burton out of their second preseason game due to an unspecified injury. He mostly worked with the second-string offense during the preseason opener, also returning kickoffs and punts. There hasn't been much sign of Burton challenging Andrei Iosivas for the No. 3 receiver job, but the 2024 third-round pick could have a role as a return specialist and occasional depth chart if he proves his health before Week 1.

Won't suit up vs. Washington Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Saturday that Burton (undisclosed) is ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Commanders, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burton has missed practice reps since last Sunday due to an undisclosed injury, and he was limited to rehab work in his return to practice Friday. The second-year pro seems to be progressing well in his recovery, at least, so he could be back in action in time for Cincinnati's preseason finale against the Colts on Saturday, Aug. 23. A 2024 third-pick, Burton is coming off a disappointing rookie campaign in which he corralled just four of 14 targets for 104 yards across 14 regular-season appearances, and at this stage he seems to have fallen behind Andrei Iosivas in the competition for the No. 3 receiver gig behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Limited to side field Burton (undisclosed) worked on a rehab field during Friday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Cincinnati beat writers spotted Burton at practice for the first time since the Bengals' preseason opener last Thursday, but the wideout didn't actually take part in team drills, instead going to a side field with TE Mike Gesicki (hamstring) and other injured players. While the relatively quick return to physical activity suggests Burton's unspecified injury isn't serious, the missed time could hurt his chances of earning a Week 1 role off the bench. There hasn't been any recent buzz about Burton challenging Andrei Iosivas for the No. 3 receiver role.

Returns to practice Burton (undisclosed) returned to practice Friday, Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati reports.

Impact It's his first practice since recording one catch, one punt return and two kickoff returns in last Thursday's preseason opener against the Eagles. A quick return to practice suggests the undisclosed injury isn't serious, but that doesn't mean Burton will play in Monday's preseason game against Washington. It's also not clear if the 2024 third-round pick will have a role in Cincinnati's offense to begin the regular season, as he still seems to be behind Andrei Iosivas (and possibly Charlie Jones) on the depth chart.

Doesn't practice Sunday Burton did not participate in Sunday's training camp practice due to an undisclosed injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Burton may have picked up the injury during the Bengals' preseason loss to the Eagles on Thursday. The 2024 third-rounder is considered day-to-day, and his practice participation over the coming week will indicate his chances of playing against the Commanders on Monday, Aug. 18. Burton finished Thursday's contest with one catch (on two targets) for three yards along with 42 yards on two kick returns and 32 yards on his lone punt return.

Minimal impact on offense Burton caught one of two targets for three yards, adding two kick returns for 42 yards and one punt return for 32 yards, in Thursday's 34-27 preseason loss to the Eagles.

Impact He didn't get any work with Joe Burrow and the first-team offense, instead seeing both of his targets and most of his snaps later in the first half. Burton at least made a good impression with a long punt return, but it's unclear if he has a serious chance to unseat Andrei Iosivas as the No. 3 receiver. In Thursday's game, Charlie Jones also seemed to be ahead of Burton in the WR rotation, taking a few snaps with the starters and catching a pass from Burrow.

Continued progress Burton has made some nice plays in training camp so far, and more importantly has avoided all the pratfalls that plagued him last year, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact While the Bengals are happy with how Burton has showed up in camp, they are also treating this as a "necessary but not yet sufficient" status for him to elevate his status on the field. Said offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher, "That's a prerequisite, right? That doesn't mean you're gonna be a successful pro. That gives you a chance to be a successful pro. He's making the right steps in that direction." Burton remains behind Andrei Iosivas on the depth chart, with Iosivas also having a good camp.

Impressing at camp Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters Wednesday that Burton has "done a good job" this offseason, Chris Roling of USA Today reports.

Impact Burton, a 2024 third-round pick from Alabama, struggled throughout his rookie campaign, catching just four passes for 107 yards and tallying 378 kick-return yards over 14 games. Additionally, the Bengals had concerns about the 23-year-old's character, as he missed a pregame walkthrough and was involved in other incidents during the 2024 season. However, Taylor seems to be impressed with Burton's progression this offseason. If he can continue to impresses Cincinnati's staff this summer, Burton could serve as the team's No. 3 wide receiver in 2025.
