Jermaine Burton reportedly missed Saturday walkthrough, leading to benching

Every week this season, Cincinnati Bengals fans have wondered why we weren’t seeing more Jermaine Burton.

After all, the third-round rookie out of Alabama is clearly a big-play threat waiting to happen. But for whatever reason, he’s not been able to play a heavy amount of snaps in a single game.

That appeared to be changing this week with Tee Higgins set to miss a second straight game, giving the Bengals time to build a game plan that saw a bigger role for Burton when the team hosted the Las Vegas Raiders.
