Jermaine Burton has looked explosive when he’s been on the field. But there appears to be a good reason why he didn’t enter preseason contests early in the games.
According to The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr., Cincinnati Bengals coaches don’t feel that Burton is currently ready to take on a big role in the offense.
Meanwhile, second-year receiver Andrei Iosivas has the fast track to becoming the Tyler Boyd replacement as the WR3 in Cincinnati. The 24-year-old only had 116 yards last season, but he did make some big plays, including four touchdowns on just 25 overall targets.
