Burfict may even be ready to play in a preseason game or two, which is speculation at this point, but positive speculation, so we'll take it.
As OTAs wrap-up, one of the biggest storylines surrounding the Bengals is the health of Vontaze Burfict.
The Pro Bowl linebacker continues to rehabilitate his surgically-repaired knee, which went through dreaded microfracture surgery this offseason. Because the surgery came in January, the timetable for his return puts him right on the cusp of missing the start of the regular season.
However. Geoff Hobson reports the Bengals continue to be optimistic with Burfict's recovery to the point they plan on him playing in preseason games.
