The Cincinnati Bengals announced that star quarterback Joe Burrow has
suffered a torn ligament in his right wrist and will miss the remainder of
the 2023 season.
Head coach Zac Taylor revealed the news on Friday afternoon, saying that
Burrow will most likely need surgery and insisting the team’s fortunes
remain intact without their Pro Bowl quarterback, who led them to the
Super Bowl two years ago.
“This season is far from over,” Taylor said of the 5-5 Bengals.
Burrow was injured during the Bengals’ 34-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens
on Thursday. Cincinnati will probably turn to backup quarterback Jake
Browning, who was 8-of-14 passing for 68 yards and a touchdown against the
Ravens in his first significant NFL action.
“It’s tough,” Burrow said on Friday afternoon. “You work so hard for
seasons and moments like these. Whenever you get hurt and it ends early,
it’s tough to handle. That’s a part of the game.” He added that he felt “a
pop” as he threw on the play in which he was injured.
Earlier Friday, the Associated Press reported the NFL is investigating the
team’s handling of Burrow’s injury status in the lead-up to that game. The
Bengals had posted and later deleted a video on social media that showed
Burrow getting off a team bus with his right hand in what appeared to be a
soft cast. Such reviews are not uncommon with the NFL regularly looking
into similar cases. Teams can be fined or lose a draft pick for violating
the NFL’s injury report policy.
“It’s not uncommon for guys to wear a compression sleeve on a plane
because when you go up to that altitude, things can swell up,” Burrow said
Friday. “Football, you have a lot of bumps and bruises. This is a
completely new injury.”
Burrow was 11 of 17 for 101 yards and a touchdown pass when he left.
Browning replaced him with the Bengals trailing 14-10.
The former Heisman Trophy winner and No 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL
draft suffered a calf injury earlier this season, but he hasn’t missed a
game this year. His rookie season also ended early due to a knee injury.
“It kills you to watch somebody have to go through this, you know, several
times now,” Taylor said.
The Bengals’ AFC North rivals, the Cleveland Browns, lost their starting
quarterback this week when it was announced Deshaun Watson needs season-
ending shoulder surgery.
