Jermaine Burton reacts to his inactivity at Bengals vs. Raiders

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton repeated the message in the locker room Tuesday: “It just has to get better.”

Burton reportedly did not show up for the Bengals' walk-through on Saturday and was subsequently inactive in Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Burton declined to elaborate on the incident. Head coach Zac Taylor also declined to elaborate on the topic.

When asked if he had let his teammates down, Burton replied, “Absolutely.” Burton repeatedly answered questions with the mantra, “I have to get better.”

The Bengals face the Baltimore Ravens this week on “Thursday Night Football.”
