This makes it three weeks Burton hasn't been available to the Bengals since the bye, either because of late additions to the injury report or now for Sunday's non-injury related absence and suspension.
Burton has been a staple of the inactives list this year after some good PR over the summer. He was reportedly late for at least one practice earlier this season. Another report said the Bengals have "little to no trust" in Burton right now. That followed an infamous rookie campaign last year marred by issues, including reportedly no-showing a Saturday walkthrough that featured him in a big role, earning public reprimands from teammates .
