The Bengals today made expected roster moves with tight end Tyler Eifert and linebacker Vontaze Burfict.

The team placed Eifert on injured reserve and added Burfict to the 53-man roster.

Eifert, who is in his sixth season, suffered a broken ankle in last week's 37-36 win at Atlanta.

Burfict, a seven-year veteran, returned to the team this week on a roster exemption after serving a four-game suspension to start the season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. He is expected to play Sunday vs. Miami at Paul Brown Stadium.
