Jermaine Burton (ankle) leaves practice as precaution
Cincinnati Bengals rookie WR Jermaine Burton, who exited practice on Thursday, is believed to have injured his ankle and exited as a precaution.
Fantasy Impact
Burton should be fine long-term as he just tweaked his ankle, avoiding a major injury. The rookie wideout was a third-round selection and is in line to fight for the WR3 role in Cincinnati behind WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Burton is fighting with second-year wideout Andrei Iosivas for the job, who has stood out so far in training camp.
