Bengals Rookie Jermaine Burton Not Traveling to Pittsburgh for Must-Win vs Steelers
CINCINNATI — Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton won’t travel to the team with Pittsburgh ahead of Saturday’s must-win game against the Steelers.
The rookie wide-out won’t play in the matchup. The decision was made by head coach Zac Taylor, the team announced in a statement.
This isn’t the first time Burton has been inactive due to a coach’s decision. He didn’t play against the Raiders in November after being a “no call, no show” for a Saturday walkthrough.
It’s unclear what happened this time, but a disappointing rookie season could be over. He’ll end his rookie campaign with four catches for 107 yards in 14 games.
