Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict Carted Off With Head Injury

Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict was taken off on a backboard during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Steelers after taking a brutal hit from WR JuJu Smith-Schuster.

The Bengals have already ruled him out for the game with a head injury.

Burfict, 27, wound up signing on with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona State back in 2012. He was in the final year of his four-year, $20 million contract when the Bengals signed him to a three-year $38.68M extension a few weeks ago.
