Overview
- Burton was ruled out for non-injury reasons Saturday, did not travel to Buffalo, and the suspension was announced roughly 90 minutes before kickoff.
- The unpaid suspension will dock him a game check of approximately $59,320.88, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
- Burton has not appeared in a game this season after multiple healthy scratches and was noted to have dealt with an ankle issue that reporters stressed was unrelated to the suspension.
- A 2024 third-round pick, he recorded four catches for 107 yards as a rookie and was kept out of last season’s finale by coach’s decision.
- Cincinnati has relied on other receivers such as Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley this year, and the lack of explanation for the punishment has fueled questions about Burton’s role going forward.
