Bengals Waive Jermaine Burton a Day After One-Game Suspension

Cincinnati cut the second-year receiver after suspending him for the Bills game with no public explanation.

Overview

  • The team announced Burton’s suspension about 90 minutes before kickoff in Buffalo after ruling him out for non-injury reasons the night before.
  • He did not travel with the Bengals and forfeited a game check of roughly $59,320.88, according to NFL reporting.
  • Burton has not appeared in a game this season and logged just four receptions for 107 yards as a 2024 rookie.
  • No specific reason for the discipline was disclosed, with prior reporting noting issues such as lateness to practice, repeated healthy scratches and diminished trust.
  • On Monday, head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Burton was waived and said he hopes the receiver finds an opportunity elsewhere.
