I know I've been pretty conservative in my estimates on his return - I really didn't think he would play until Houston. I guess we'll see, but part of me thinks they wouldn't get him going in practice this week without an immediate return. I'm sure Marvin will just give us a "we'll see" on this because he won't have to do anything until Saturday, when we're not allowed to be around the team.

Vontaze Burfict has been cleared to practice today for the Bengals. He began the first six weeks on their PUP list. He's still working to get back into football shape. So it may be tough seeing him play Sunday at Pittsburgh, but next Thursday's game against Cleveland is looking like a real possibility. A source confirmed Burfict was in LA earlier this week getting cleared by his surgeon


just another tweet...great news!! doubt we see him this Sunday, I may even go as far as saying we may not see him on TNF next week.. But have to imagine he'll be in one of the under the lights games in the next three weeks!!

welcome back Tez!

Don't think we'll see him this week, as this will be his first practice. Who knows if it'll be a limited practice or full go. I assume this week they're going to assess how far he's come and how much farther he needs to go.
