CINCINNATI -- For those Cincinnati Bengals fans waiting for linebacker Vontaze Burfict to be activated off the physically unable to perform list next week, remain patient.

Coach Marvin Lewis said Friday that although Burfict will be eligible to come off the PUP list following this Sunday's game at Buffalo, he will not be part of any roster moves that place him on the Week 7 active roster.

"We'll have no movement next week," Lewis said.

The same goes for offensive tackle Cedric Ogbuehi, the Bengals' first-round draft pick who has been on the non-football injury list since the season began for an ACL tear he received in his college bowl game last December.

It bears mentioning the Bengals have their bye next week and likely will have a dramatically reduced practice schedule as a result. Lewis said the fact the bye is next week had no bearing on the lack of roster moves he's anticipating next week.

Naturally, there could be moves next week for the Bengals depending upon what happens in Sunday's game, but Lewis doesn't expect any changes to come that concern Burfict or Ogbuehi. Like the rookie offensive tackle, Burfict has been trying to recover from a knee injury. The Pro Bowler was sidelined in the middle of last season with what was originally diagnosed as a cartilage issue in his left knee. It didn't heal the way trainers had hoped, so Burfict was forced in January to undergo microfracture surgery.

Recovery from that procedure is lengthy. Although he made strides during training camp, the Bengals knew Burfict likely wouldn't be in playing condition until after a few more weeks. So at the close of the preseason, they placed him on the PUP list.

Lewis pointed out that neither of the two injured players will practice next week. Rules of the PUP and non-football injury lists permit players sidelined for six weeks the opportunity to start practicing after Week 6. At that point, they have until Week 9 to practice. Whenever they start practicing, a three-week window opens in which they can practice without a change in their roster status occurring. By the end of those three weeks, though, they have to either be placed on the active roster, or sent to the season-ending injured reserve.

There still remains a chance for both players to begin practicing the week after the bye, meaning Burfict still could play at Pittsburgh in Week 8.
