Joe Burrow will have to face the final game of the regular season without a rookie receiver for the matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game that could be the Cincinnati Bengals’ last hope to make the playoffs. Burrow was expected to have all his weapons at his disposal.

According to Arie Meirov and other sources, Burrow will be without Jermaine Burton after a coach’s decision not to have the player travel with the team to Pittsburgh. The exact reason for the decision hasn’t been revealed, but Burton has had a limited impact this season, with just four receptions and a little over 100 yards.
