• The team announced Burton will not travel to Pittsburgh due to illness after a Saturday downgrade to out.
• He missed time with an illness midweek, returned to practice Friday, then was ruled out in the pregame window.
• Cincinnati placed rookie edge rusher Shemar Stewart on injured reserve, reducing options in the front rotation.
