Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict was the second player in Monday’s Bengals-Stellers game taken off the field on a backboard and cart. However, before the cart got to the locker room, Burfict jumped off the cart and ran into the locker room.
The Bengals announced a “head injury” to Burfict. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Burfict was taken off on a cart with 6:59 left in the game after he was blocked by Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Smith-Schuster hit Burfict on a screen pass to running back Le’Veon Bell.
