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.

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.
