HoosierCat Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 No Burfict today. He's on the rehab field as usual. Maybe Wednesday... Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Burfict, Ogbuhei and Porter on the rehab field. Gilberry not practicing. Other than that everyone is working. Quote
volcom69 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Sounds like Burfict is moving around good though, jumping over tackling dummies, and things like that.I have to wonder if they are just not rushing him back, because they don't feel the need too? With Vinny Rey back at practice, I'm guessing they will ease him back. If Rey was still injured, I'm thinking he might be out on the practice field today. I could be wrong just what I was thinking. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 The team still has time to decide and probably just want as much time as possible when the clock start ticking.If they don't feel they need to add him back at the moment, I suggest they go back to the tape and watch the linebackers.Burfict and what he is capable of bringing to the field is certainly needed and if he's in the shape he's claiming the defense gets better. Quote
Wraith Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 Or this could be gamesmanship from Lewis...there was a blurb that said Burfict only needed one day because "he is that smart". At least I can hope. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 @caplannfl: Burfict is ready to practice, but it's now up to the team to decide when he'll get on the field.Emerging CW is that he will be back vs. the Texans. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 Per the Enquirer, Burfict coming back today: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2015/10/29/vontaze-burfict-return-bengals-practice-today/74793164/ The Enquirer has confirmed that Pro Bowl linebacker Vontaze Burfict will return to practice for the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday afternoon. He received medical clearance to resume activities from his surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, during a trip to California earlier in the week. The 21-day “clock” on making a decision on Burfict now begins for the team. Burfict can work out under a roster exemption, but in order to activate him to the 53-man roster the team will have to make a corresponding roster move by releasing a player. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 @LanceMcAlister: Lap on #Bengals Line: "If he (Burfict) can give you 20-25 snaps on Sunday, I'd run with it...but it would be real dicey." Quote
TJJackson Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 W O O T hearing this made my week :-) that said, I dont want him back early....I want him full healed, conditioned, practiced, rust off, ready to go I dont want to see the team chance having him dinged again after a game or two and out for the season again 100% healthy, please Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 Great news, we need him back on the field! Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 I am 100% sure Burfict is chomping at the bit to get back on the field, especially with the Steelers on deck. It'll be a question of how the knee responds to practice. But if they are turning him on now, I have to think they have confidence he will be able to go soon. My guess is it's 80/20 against for Sunday, 50/50 for next Thursday, and 100% vs. the Texans. Quote
BengalByTheBay Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 Awesome news. I had feared the worst. Hold him for MNF vs. Texans, then let him rip. Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 I'm more concerned about his repeated concussions from his lack of technique and/or out-of-control style at times, than his knee. While we don't get that kind of insight from the media, I hope the coaching staff is or has been working with him to stop leading with his helmet, and control his emotions etc.., Who knows if that's part of the plan or not. I'd bench him every time he does that until he gets it if nothing else (and that includes ankle-twisting and other stupid crap - love the guy as a player but his professionalism is questionable at best). I also can't imagine they'll cut any LB's (i.e. Hawk) on or before Sunday if they activate him - too early for that - there has to be someone else they can de-activate at another position they've been activating every week until now. Giving him AJ Hawk's snaps seems possible, I'd say Lap is right with the 50/50 call at this point. We'll know more after tomorrow I suppose. Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 Post Thursday practice quote: Certainly Guenther’s enthusiasm can’t be quelled.“He looked real good. His movement skills were excellent. It looks like he’s never missed any time,” Guenther said. “He obviously understands the defense. He’s just got to get back into football shape. He moved around real good. We’re real encouraged with what we saw. Quote
gregcook68 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Posted October 30, 2015 According to the website, a decision will be made Saturday whether he gets activated. If he does he's expected to see 15-20 snaps.Lewis said his first and foremost concern is Burfict's career, not the season. Quote
volcom69 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Burfict added to the roster and they released Greg LittleSo sounds like he could play some snaps on Sunday, that is huge Quote
Wraith Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 He's back....lb Corp goes from liability to strength as long as he is healthy and has lost any quickness. Quote
jonf45uk Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Fantastic news let's just hope he doesn't go racing round trying to tackle everyone with his head this time!!!!! Quote
