The Cincinnati Bengals appear to have learned their lesson after the controversy surrounding Joe Burrow’s wrist injury. The NFL has been investigating the Bengals for what appeared to be poor reporting on their franchise quarterback’s health before his 2023 season officially ended.
As the Bengals move forward with Jake Browning for the rest of the year, it seems they don’t want to tempt fate. That or they want to troll the league for what they might deem to be an overstepping evaluation of their health process. On Thursday, Cincinnati listed Browning on its injury report with a wrist ailment despite him being a full practice participant.
Hmm, that seems a little too convenient after what transpired with Burrow:

All of this could just be a complete coincidence, with the Bengals doing their due diligence with injury reports. But NFL fans thought differently of this franchise’s intent, given all the hoopla around Burrow.
