Burfict (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

While no longer a dominant force, Burfict has averaged respectable marks of 46 snaps and 5.2 tackles in six games this season. His absence probably won't have much impact on a Cincinnati defense that's been hideous even when healthy. Hardy Nickerson is the best bet to absorb Burfict's vacated snaps, but Vincent Rey and Brandon Bell could also get a look. Nick Vigil is the top IDP play among Bengals linebackers, averaging 7.6 tackles per game in a three-down role.

Burfict (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burfict suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Broncos, and did not practice Wednesday. It remains to be seen whether the veteran linebacker will manage to clear the league-mandated concussion protocol in time for Cincinnati's tilt against the Chargers in Week 14.

Burfict suffered a concussion and has officially been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burfict will no doubt be placed in the league's concussion protocol and will need to gain clearance before a possible return for Week 14. In his absence, Hardy Nickerson could take on Burfict's role as middle linebacker for the remainder of the game.

Burfict (hip) will make his return Sunday against the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Burfict practiced on a limited basis each day this week, representing an improvement from the past several weeks where he was ruled out prior to the official release of the inactive list. While his exact snap count will be uncertain due to injury, Burfict should at least see some playing time with multiple starting linebackers in Nick Vigil (knee) and Preston Brown (leg) on the inactive list.

Burfict (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, kKatherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burfict sustained the hip injury Oct. 21 against the Chiefs and missed the last two games. The 28-year-old was ruled out by this point in previous weeks, so he's at least trending in the right direction. The Bengals could use a timely return by Burfict, with fellow starting linebackers Preston Brown (leg) and Nick Vigil (knee) both already ruled out.

Burfict (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burfict continues to progress in his recovery from a hip injury sustained during a Week 7 game against the Chiefs. The 28-year-old's limited participation in practice is a step in the right direction, and it appears that Burfict has a chance of playing against the Ravens on Sunday. With fellow starting linebackers Preston Brown (leg) and Nick Vigil (knee) also nursing injuries, Burfit's presence would be a significant boost to Cincinnati's defense.

Burfict (hip) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burfict sustained the hip injury Week 7 against the Chiefs and was unable to play the following week, and will now miss another game despite the Bengals' Week 9 bye. The 28-year-old has no firm timetable for his return as Jordan Evan and Vincent Rey should continue to see increased snaps with Nick Vigil (knee) also ruled out.

Burfict (hip) did not practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burfict has not suited up since Week 7, and still appears to be nursing a lingering hip injury. The starting linebacker was unable to return to full health during Cincinnati's bye week, and should be considered questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Saints.

Burfict (hip) was held out of Monday's practice, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burfict missed the Bengals' Week 8 tilt and appears to still be struggling with his injury after the bye week. He should be considered questionable for Cincinnati's Week 10 matchup with New Orleans for the time being.

Burfict (hip) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burfict continues to nurse a hip injury sustained during Cincinnati's loss to the Chiefs in Week 7, and Jordan Evans is expected to slot serve as the team's starting weakside linebacker as long as Burfict remains sidelined. With Nick Vigil (knee) also out, the Bengals will enter Sunday's game against the Buccaneers depleted of two starting linebackers. Burfict will attempt to recover during Cincinnati's bye week, and set his sights on a return against the Saints in Week 10.
