Offensive lineman Ramon Foster told Channel 11's news exchange partners at TribLIVE that he thought the Bengals were aiming to injure someone.

Speaking on 93.7 The Fan Tuesday morning, Foster talked about Burfict in particular, "He's the type of guy to do certain things like that. And the good thing about the situation is we get to see him again. We play him twice a year."
Offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert called Burfict's behavior "bull (expletive)."
The tweet was later be deleted -- but not before Burfict had time to respond.
He also seemed unwilling to wait until Dec. 13 when the Bengals and Steelers meet in Cincinnati.

For what it's worth, Burfict was fined $25,000 last season for twisting the ankles of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and tight end Greg Olsen.
