CINCINNATI – Bengals owner Mike Brown hopes the imminent return of two top players will help his club rebound after a 1-2 start.

Brown on Wednesday told Sporting News that Vontaze Burfict will play in Thursday night’s game against the Miami Dolphins. Brown wasn’t as optimistic about Tyler Eifert dressing against the Dolphins, but the tight end should be ready for Cincinnati’s game at Dallas on October 9.
