The Cincinnati Bengals are facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Saturday night, but rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton will not be joining the team due to a coach's decision. This comes amid news that Burton, 23, is facing eviction, with official records from the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts revealing a civil suit filed against him for $2,506.33.

Burton's absence is noteworthy as he is healthy but has previously been a healthy scratch, including a notable absence against the Raiders in November after failing to show up for a Saturday walkthrough. The third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has had a quiet rookie season, ending with just four catches for 107 yards over 14 games.
