Wide receiver Jermaine Burton suited up and played in that contest but has since been absent at practice, leading some to wonder what was up, with no official word from the team in that department.</p><p>However, Burton recently took to his account on X, formerly Twitter, <a href="https://x.com/NASAMAINE3/status/1954950317357092930" rel="noopener">to clarify things.</a></p><p>“To be clear–my absence was DUE TO INJURY, not for any other reason.

However, head coach Zac Taylor doesn’t expect that to be the norm moving forward.</p><p>Burton <a href="https://x.com/pauldehnerjr/status/1853188175646384145" rel="noopener">was a healthy scratch</a> for missing Saturday’s walkthrough. Taylor said that he was a big part of the gameplan, but Burton didn’t handle himself right to end the week. Still, the head coach is expecting better days from the wide receiver. Furthermore, Burton isn’t expected to face any more punishment, via Paul Dehner Jr of The Athletic.</p><p>“We have to handle all our business in the right way,” Taylor said.</p><p>The Bengals selected Burton with pick No. 80 in the 2024 NFL Draft. Since joining the team, he has caught two passes for 88 yards. He may have two big gains, but Burton has yet to be fully integrated into the offense.</p><p>There would’ve been no better time for him to be in Week 9, with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-tee-higgins-wont-be-cincinnati-only-week-9-injury-absence">Tee Higgins battling a quad injury</a>. However, his off the field actions cost him that opportunity. Taylor showed he meant business and actually levied a punishment. But he’s hoping it’s more motivational rather than strictly sending Burton to the dog house.</p><p>Even with Higgins and Burton out, the Bengals found a way to dominate on Sunday. Joe Burrow completed 27-of-39 passes for 251 yards, five touchdowns and an interception. Four different players found the end zone, including tight end Mike Gesicki twice. The win moved Cincinnati to 4-5 on the season.</p><p>They’ll now having a quick turnaround to face the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. A win would go a long way to getting the Bengals back towards the top of the AFC North hunt. With or without Higgins, Cincinnati is going to need as many playmakers as possible.</p><p>Despite his gaffe entering Week 9, Zac Taylor is expecting Jermaine Burton to be one of them moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While their defense held steady, the Bengals’ offense sputtered throughout the game, as quarterback Joe Burrow went 19-for-28 for 208 yards, though he also led the team with four carries for 55 rushing yards and a touchdown.</p><p>Moreover, rookie receiver Jermaine Burton didn’t play on Sunday, his first missed game of the season, and coach Zac Taylor responded to questions about his healthy scratch.</p><p>Per reports, “Zac Taylor said <a href="https://x.com/KelseyLConway/status/1845668284886130937" rel="noopener">there’s nothing to make</a> of Jermaine Burton being inactive tonight specifically,” as shared by Bengals beat reporter Kelsey Conway on X, formerly Twitter.</p><h2><b>Week 6: Bengals def. Giants</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Jermaine-Burton-unable-to-make-a-catch.jpg"><figcaption>© Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This Week 6 win over the Giants moved the Bengals to 2-4, giving fans some hope after the team started 0-3. Despite the ugly way it happened, a win is a win, and Joe Burrow himself agreed.</p><p>“We really needed it,” the quarterback said, via <a href="https://www.espn.ph/nfl/recap/_/gameId/401671791" rel="noopener">a report</a> from the Associated Press. “I don’t want to say we would have been out of it if we lost, but we’d be scratching and clawing for the rest of the year. We still really are, but it was good to get a win. Great to see our defense step up like that. They’ve taken some heat the last couple of weeks. They played awesome tonight.”</p><p>Moreover, the Bengals’ defense seemed to redeem itself after they failed to stop <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-lamar-jackson-locks-up-second-mvp-award-career">MVP Lamar Jackson</a> and the Ravens in their last game, despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-new-career-high-explosion-ravens">Joe Burrow’s career-high explosion</a> in their 41-38 heartbreaker.</p><p>Trey Hendrickson led the Bengals’ defense Sunday night with two sacks, while linebacker Germaine Pratt also helped by intercepting Daniel Jones near the goal line in the first quarter. Ex-Giant B. J. Hill had hit Jones while he made the throw.</p><p>“We just knew we had to come out and play our type of football. We were better at it. We’re still not perfect, still got a long way to go, but we can build off this win,” Hill said.</p><h2><b>On the Giants’ side</b></h2><p>Meanwhile, the Giants played their second-straight game without standout receiver <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-malik-nabers-ruled-out-for-week-6-clash-vs-bengals">Malik Nabers, out with a concussion</a>, and running back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-devin-singletary-out-for-bengals-clash">Devin Singletary, out with a groin injury</a>. Nabers was one of the bright spots in the Giants’ middling season, and the team surely felt his absence against the Bengals.</p><p>Giants coach Brian Daboll also took accountability for the loss.</p><p>“We didn’t score enough points offensively, and it starts with me. It’s hard to win games when you score seven points, and that’s the reality of it,” Daboll said.</p><p>The Bengals have a chance to improve to 3-4 as they face the hapless Cleveland Browns in Week 7, while the (2-4) Giants will meet the (3-2) Philadelphia Giants.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
