It appears Vontaze Burfict won't miss any action, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports the Cincinnati Bengals linebacker won't be suspended for making contact with an official on Sunday.

Burfict was ejected during the second half of the Bengals' loss to the Tennessee Titans after contacting an official while arguing a call. The argument came just two plays after he was flagged for unnecessary roughness. It was the first ejection of Burfict's career.

The hard-hitting linebacker has already missed three games this year due to suspension for a hit during the preseason.
