Burfict (hip) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Burfict sustained the hip injury Week 7 against the Chiefs and was unable to play the following week, and he'll now miss another game despite the Bengals' Week 9 bye. The 28-year-old has no firm timetable for his return, and both Jordan Evans and Vincent Rey should continue to see increased snaps with Nick Vigil (knee) also ruled out.

Burfict (hip) was held out of Monday's practice, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports. 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) remained out at Thursday's practice, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports. Before Burfict left in the second half of Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs, he was struggling to maintain discipline on his gaps. But it's also undeniable that the Bengals' linebacking corps played much better when he returned in Weeks 5 and 6 against Miami and Pittsburgh than without him the previous two weeks, so a potential absence Sunday against the Bucs would hurt.

Burfict (hip) is not practicing Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Burfict exited Sunday's loss to the Chiefs with a hip injury and did not return, and should be considered questionable for Cincinnati's matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 8. If Burfict were to miss any time, expect Jordan Evans to slot into the starting lineup and Hardy Nickerson to receive increased snaps.

Burfict injured his shoulder in the second quarter of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh. Burfict got injured while trying to tackle the Steelers' Vance McDonald, who shed multiple tackles on the play. He's currently on the sideline rather than the locker room and hasn't yet been ruled out to return.

Lol! When Burfict was at his best he was definitely better than average, but even when he's been on the field this… https://t.co/OrvsKnfWqM

Their defense is bad yes, but they're also playing without Dennard, Burfict, Vigil and Lawson.
