Hold the phone, Batman. The Cincinnati Bengals’ season just took a dramatic turn.
On Thursday, news started swirling that quarterback Joe Burrow reported to the Bengals matchup against the Ravens with a brace on his right wrist. The revelation was a bit shocking, given that Cincinnati didn’t put Burrow on the injury report. Then, more chatter started when Burrow left the game and did not return after seemingly banging up the same wrist.
Joe Burrow has already dealt with several injuries during his professional career, and that latest injury news was doing little to help the Bengals’ currently underwhelming season.
Yet, on Friday, the Bengals revealed another shocking turn of events.
Joe Burrow is out for the remainder of the season.
