Bengals medically clear LB Vontaze Burfict, activate him off of NFI list

The Cincinnati Bengals have cleared Vontaze Burfict to practice after he passed his physical on Monday.

That means Burfict is now off the Active/Non-Football Injury list, which he was placed on right before the start of training camp. With this news, no more Bengals are on the PUP/NFI lists.

Burfict, who was reportedly dealing with a tight hamstring, is already set to serve a four-game suspension to open the 2018 season due to a PED violation. It will be the third-straight season in which Burfict has been suspended to start the season, though the previous two were for player-safety violations in 2016 and 2017.
