We might see Burfict because I truly believe he wants to be out there, but lets be realistic. I highly doubt we see him until the last 25% of the year. Remember, the Bengals have until week 11 to activate him off PUP...and another 3 weeks (week 14) to put him on the 53-man roster. It's possible they hold out as long as they can without needing him...and he doesn't play until the last 3 or 4 games.As others have opined, I also don't want him to practice/play until he is fully healed and has undergone extensive tutoring on "How to Tackle" - without injuring yourself repeatedly".
Those wanting to see him in week 8 or week 9 are living in another reality. I'll bet he isn't even practicing by then.
