Burton being inactive is ***** stupid. Tee is leaving next season and you need to know what you have in the kid.

But hey, Trenton Irwin!

Bengals WR Jermaine Burton is inactive for tonight’s game. A healthy scratch for the rookie. Trenton Irwin is active instead.

So are Rankins and Hudson back?

Seems like a lot of dlinemen inactive.

Conspiracy hat on: "What are they not telling us about these players who don't play?

Agree he either has a serve attitude/ effort issue ? or he just isn’t good right now, neither scenario is good lol. Just taking an educated guess on first part could be related to all the red flags that made him fall in the draft.

Attitude?

Buy in?

Crap practice?

I agree though, hard to imagine how Burton is beat out by Irwin...

This was probably a special teams move. Trenton is Brown’s backup on returns. They might have been hedging their bets in case Brown’s quad acted up during the game.

Burton should be taking over on retuning for Chuck Drizzle. He’s awful.

Aybe but then again Burton has never been a returner other than a couple of times during preseason. Do you really want to risk that inexperience during an actual game?

Better than just continually trotting Jones out there to run east to west every time. I’ve seen enough of that.
