Bengals WR Jermaine Burton Day-to-Day With Minor Injury

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton, a 2024 third-round pick, is currently day-to-day with an undisclosed injury sustained possibly during the preseason loss to the Eagles. Burton missed Sunday's training camp practice and has not been seen on the rehab field, raising questions about his availability for the upcoming game against the Commanders. Despite a strong spring and summer, Burton's role in the offense remains limited; he did not work with the first-team offense during the Eagles game and had minimal impact with just one catch for three yards and notable return yards. Other receivers like Charlie Jones and Isaiah Williams are receiving more practice reps in Burton's absence, with Jones also appearing ahead of Burton in the receiver rotation. While Burton has shown promise as a returner and made key plays in training camp, it is uncertain if he can overtake Andrei Iosivas as the No. 3 receiver. The Bengals continue to monitor Burton's condition as he recovers from the injury.
