Former Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict suspended for rest of the season

Infamous linebacker Vontaze Burfict has been hit with yet another suspension for his conduct on the field. Burfict is no stranger to suspensions since he has been suspended a total of ten games in his career, but this one takes the cake.

The NFL has announced Burfict is going to sit out for the remainder of the season because of his hit on Colts tight end Jack Doyle on Sunday. He was ejected for the hit during the game, but the league wasn’t done there. Burfict will not be able to set foot on the field until the preseason starts in 2020, assuming he is on an NFL roster at that point.
