The Bengals were without some key names during Tuesday’s practice, and another was briefly hurt before returning.
First off, the guys who didn’t take part included linebacker Vontaze Burfict, wide receiver Cody Core and linebacker Vinny Rey.
#Bengals young LBs will get more reps today as Vinny Rey and Vontaze Burfict are out with ankle injuries. WR Cody Core not out here.

Burfict suffered an ankle injury during Monday’s practice. It’s unclear how severe it is, though he’ll have plenty of time to recover since he’s out for the first games to start the season.
