The rookie WR is getting another chance.
It’s been quite a week for Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton.
The rookie had a lot of fans and even Joe Burrow talking about the value he could provide on the field if given the chance.
Then he didn’t participate in the walkthrough on Saturday, forcing head coach Zac Taylor to make him a healthy inactive against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Burton even got a little talking to from Burrow on the sideline during the game.
And yet, Taylor has decided to give him another chance, according to Kelsey Conway.
Zac Taylor said the expectation is that Jermaine Burton will practice this week and play on Thursday night

The receiver is expected to practice and then play against the Baltimore Ravens on the road.
If he actually gets meaningful snaps, Burton could be the x-factor to help the Bengals outscore Lamar Jackson and company in this huge AFC North matchup.
Hopefully, the 23-year-old learned his lesson and will do everything right this time around.
The Bengals play the Ravens on Thursday night at 8:15 PM on Amazon Prime.
