Burfict (knee) will be out for the next two weeks, after undergoing an arthroscopic scope on his left knee Wednesday morning, ESPN reports.

Burfict has endured a number of maladies throughout this season, with the most recent being suffered during Sunday's game versus the Ravens. That knee ailment will now keep Burfict sidelined for the next couple weeks, putting his likely return date Nov. 16 against the Saints. Until then, players like Vincent Rey and Marquis Flowers figure to fulfill expanded roles within Cincinnati's defense.

Burfict briefly left Sunday's win over the Ravens in the first half with a knee injury, but later returned to the game and said he was good going forward, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "I'm good," Burfict said after the game. "I'm ready to go the next game."

Burfict was able to get seven tackles even with him missing time in the game. He's missed at least parts of nearly every game this season due to injury.

Burfict (neck) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.�

Burfict has had trouble staying on the field this season, which makes him a high-risk/high-reward IDP option until he puts together a run of uninterrupted play.

Burfict (neck) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, the Bengals' official site reports.

Burfict was able to practice fully both Thursday and Friday, so it looks like he will be able to suit up this weekend, though the linebacker's trouble staying on the field this season makes him a high-risk/high-reward IDP until he reestablishes his health.

Burfict (neck) practiced fully Thursday, the Bengals' official site reports.

It appears as though Burfict is headed toward active status in Week 8, but so far this season, the linebacker has had a hard time staying on the field, which adds an element of risk to using him in IDP formats.

Burfict (neck) was present for practice Wednesday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Burfict has a had a tough time staying on the field this season, but his presence at practice Wednesday does at least appear to confirm that his latest injury (a cervical strain that he sustained in Week 7) is not a major issue.

When asked about Burfict (cervical strain) on Monday, coach Marvin Lewis said that the linebacker is "fine," ESPN's Coley Harvey reports.

We'll take that to mean that Burfict's current injury is not thought to be a major one, but at this stage the linebacker's status for Sunday's game against the Ravens is unclear.

Burfict (neck) suffered a "cervical strain" during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Colts, ESPN.com reports.

Burfict was forced to exit Sunday's contest after appearing to hit opposing quarterback Andrew Luck in the chest with the crown of his helmet. Following that play, Burfict was evaluated by the Bengals' medical staff, before ultimately being able to walk to the sideline under his own power. Nonetheless, Burfict did not return to the action. After suffering a concussion in both Week 1 and Week 2, Burfict returned last weekend and sustained another hit to the head. Now, in wake of Sunday's neck injury, last season's league-leader in tackle may be best served to take some time off to preserve his future health. At the moment, Burfict's status moving forward is uncertain, making his situation worthwhile to monitor throughout this week. Should he miss time, Vincent Ray, who led Cincinnati with 16 tackles (seven solo) Sunday, would figure to be promoted to the starting lineup.

Burfict will miss the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts with a neck injury.

When Burfict left Week 2's game against the Falcons, it was first classified as a neck injury, then later reclassified as a concussion. At any rate, the Bengals are now down three linebackers with Rey Maualuga and Emmanuel Lamur also out.

Burfict left Sunday's game against Indianapolis with a neck injury, the Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Dehner Jr. reports.

Burfict lowered his head into Andrew Luck while making a hit on the quarterback, leading to the injury. Burfict has been affected by multiple concussions this year, so even if this seems to be a neck problem, he'll likely go through an evaluation on the sideline before being cleared to return.

Burfict (concussion) has been fined $25,000 for twisting the ankles of opponents Cam Newton and Greg Olsen during Sunday's game versus the Panthers, ESPN reports.

Burfict seemed to have targeted Newton and Olsen during Sunday's contest, as he was shown twisting both players' recently injured ankles in post-play piles. Fortunately for Burfict, he will not be suspended, although his next infraction will cause him to be summoned to the league office. While the linebacker has also dealt with concussions stemming from helmet-to-helmet hits this season, Burfict is still expected to be available for Sunday's game at the Colts.

Burfict (head) returned to Sunday's game against Carolina, the Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Dehner reports.

Considering that he just returned from a concussion, we thought Burfict might be done for the day after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit and leaving for the locker room, but he was back in the game minutes later after being evaluated.

Burfict left Sunday's game against the Panthers and was taken to the locker room after taking a head, the Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Dehner reports. His return is questionable.

Given Burfict's concussion history, especially over the last few weeks, it would not be surprising if he is done for the day. The smart move for the Bengals would be to proceed with caution if this is another potential concussion.

Burfict (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Burfict was cleared by an independent neurologist this weekend, his final hurdle before being declared fit to play in this game. He has just eight tackles in two games, but he should get back to his high level of production soon if he can stay healthy.

Burfict (concussion) practiced Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Carolina, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Burfict was a full practice participant all week and has been cleared by team doctors to return to action. Per the NFL's concussion protocol, he must also get the green light from an independent neurologist before he can play, but assuming that happens this weekend, Burfict should be safe to deploy against the Panthers.

Burfict (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday, ESPN's Coley Harvey reports.

With Burfict evidently medically cleared and practicing fully, the linebacker appears to be trending toward a probable designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Burfict (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Burfict, who last suited up in Week 2, thus appears to have a chance to return to action Sunday against the Panthers, barring any setbacks as the week progresses.

Burfict (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

As expected, given his doubtful designation in advance of Sunday's game. We'll revisit Burfict's status as Week 6's contest against the Panthers approaches.

Burfict (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots, ESPN's Coley Harvey reports.

Burfict is too risky to roll with this week, given the Bengals' Sunday night kickoff, though the team's official site hints at a potential return for the linebacker in Week 6 against Carolina.

The Bengals' official site suggests that Burfict (concussion) looks like a longshot to play in Sunday night's game against the Patriots.

We'll have to see how the Bengals officially list Burfict for the contest, but Sunday's 8:30 ET kickoff should deter most owners from rolling with him this week, barring some sort of update suggesting that he'll be a go this weekend.
