Ruled out for Sunday Burton (undisclosed) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Burton did not travel to Buffalo with the team and was ruled out for a non-injury-related reason. The 2024 third-rounder has yet to play in a game this season, including the Week 12 game against the Patriots without Ja'Marr Chase and the Week 13 game against the Ravens without Tee Higgins. The wide receiver was cleared of an ankle injury Wednesday, but will once again not see the field.

Loses injury tag Burton (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Impact Burton has yet to play this season, as he was a healthy scratch in 11 of 12 games this season. Now that he's back to full strength, he's not guaranteed to return to the lineup, although he'll have a better chance to play if Tee Higgins (concussion) is unable to go. As a rookie last year, Burton caught four passes (14 targets) for 107 yards.

Labeled week-to-week with injury Head coach Zac Taylor relayed Friday that Burton is considered week-to-week due to an ankle injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Burton was unable to play in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thanksgiving Day due to an ankle injury. The injury appears severe enough for the second-year pro that a multi-game absence is on the table, and he faces an uphill battle to be available for Cincinnati's Week 14 clash against Buffalo on Sunday, Dec. 7. Burton has yet to appear in a regular-season game in 2025.

No longer under the weather Burton (illness) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact An illness prevented Burton from playing in the Bengals' Week 11 loss to the Steelers, but his full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that he is on track to play against the Patriots on Sunday. The second-year wideout has yet to appear in a regular-season game in 2025, with most of his absences coming as a healthy scratch. However, Burton could get his first taste of regular-season action in Week 12 due to the absence of Ja'Marr Chase (suspension).

Absence continues Week 9 Burton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Impact The 2024 third-rounder has been a healthy scratch for the first nine games of the regular season. Burton's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 16, but he's unlikely to play unless the Bengals need depth at wide receiver or a returner on kickoffs.

Inactive again Week 3 Burton (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Impact Despite being healthy, Burton has yet to suit up this season. The 2024 third-round pick remains behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones on the offensive depth chart.

Inactive again Week 2 Burton (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville.
Impact Burton was also inactive for Cincinnati's season-opening win over Cleveland, so it appears the Bengals don't currently have a role for him. The second-year wideout can contribute as both a depth receiver and kick/punt returner when given a chance to play, though fellow WR Charlie Jones served as the team's return man in Week 1 and therefore seems to be ahead of Burton in the pecking order.

Surprise Week 1 scratch Burton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Burton had a tumultuous rookie season but had gotten strong reviews for improvement throughout the offseason. That makes it particularly surprising that he'll be inactive for Week 1, though Charlie Jones and Mitchell Tinsley -- both active-- are set to serve as depth wide receivers and special teams contributors on Sunday.
