The Bengals could be getting one key player back but losing another.
On Wednesday, linebacker Vontaze Burfict made his long-awaited return to the practice field, a good sign he’ll be ready to rock in Cleveland this week.
However, wide receiver John Ross was not able to practice in Wednesday’s session. That’s bad news with fellow receiver Tyler Boyd expected to miss this week with an MCL sprain.
John Ross did not have his helmet with him during practice today, and Tyler Boyd was not present. If they can't play, the Bengals are down to Alex Erickson, Cody Core, Auden Tate and Josh Malone

Ross wasn’t listed on the injury report last week, though he did suffer a groin injury early in the season that was nagging him for several weeks.
