Cincinnati Bengals Activate Vontaze Burfict

Just a couple of weeks ago, the thought that Vontaze Burfict wouldn’t return to action for the rest of the 2015 season was still very much a possibility–but not any more.

Burfict finally returned to practice this week, taking some reps with his teammates and getting comfortable on his knee after undergoing microfracture surgery during the 2014 season. After a brutal 10-month recovery, Burfict is finally back.

The Bengals activated their superstar linebacker on Friday, cutting receiver Greg Little (who has zero catches on the season) to make room for the Pro Bowler.
