It is probably between Nico Johnson & Flowers.

Whichever the 6th LB it is will probably be cut when Burfict comes back after the PUP.  

The Bengals won't keep a tweener.

Agreed that Burfict will most likely PUP, and it is possible (I sure hope it doesn't sound like I'm rooting for this) that there is another injury that pushes another player out of the mix. 

I think because of the title of the article that everyone is labeling Carter a tweener because he isn't good at either LB or DE.  I think if he can prove himself as a capable SAM backup, then he sticks due to the importance of a unique pass rusher.  Every playoff game under Lewis, I would see opposing teams go max protection, our secondary would cover for something ridiculous like 5 seconds, and then the opposing QB would check it down for an easy 8 yard gain.  No pressure at all from the front four against opposing max protection schemes.  Carter might be useful in such situations.
