Vontaze Burfict plays under review; Bengals don't expect ban

— -- The Cincinnati Bengals are not expecting linebacker Vontaze Burfict to be suspended? for the incident Sunday in which he was alleged to have stomped on LeGarrette Blount after the New England Patriots running back scored a touchdown, league sources said.

A Bengals source said punishment for Burfict would amount to "a slap on the wrist for now," an indication he could be fined.

The league reviewed that play and another in which Burfict hit Martellus Bennett in the knee area on a play in which he was not Tom Brady's intended receiver. The Bengals insisted Burfict reacted to Brady's pump fake.

Burfict began the season serving a three-game suspension and has been fined eight times for on-field incidents totaling more than $200,000.

Head coach Marvin Lewis attended a disciplinary hearing with Burfict last February at the league office in which Burfict's behavior was discussed.
