He was once first of all indexed as questionable to go back sooner than in the long run being downgraded and put at the shelf for the remainder of the evening in what resulted in a 34-20 win for the Ravens.

Afterward, head trainer Zac Taylor stated it looks as if Burrow suffered a sprained wrist throughout the sport.

That wrist have been the subject of dialog main into this recreation after a social media post stuck Burrow dressed in some form of wrap on that hand exiting the staff bus in Baltimore. 

Burrow finished a landing move to operating again Joe Mixon to cap off a 12-play, 82-yard landing power and was once in noticeable discomfort upon making the throw. He was once then checked out via running shoes in the blue scientific tent. Upon rising from the tent, Burrow tried to throw a few passes at the sideline. On his 2nd try, Prime Video cameras stuck the ball fumbling out of Burrow’s hand with the quarterback shaking his head, apparently with the resignation that he may no longer get a grip. 

It was once at that time that Burrow jogged to the locker room and Jake Browning relieved him at quarterback.

Coming out of the halftime locker room for the 3rd quarter, Burrow emerged in uniform however and not using a helmet. He was once observed placing an earpiece in to apparently pay attention in at the offensive play-calling. Head trainer Zac Taylor then advised Prime Video’s Kaylee Hartung that the staff most definitely would possibly not see Burrow for the rest of the evening, which was once a precursor to the staff formally ruling him out. They made it reputable in the 3rd quarter.

Cincinnati is now 5-5 at the season and in must-win mode from right here on out if they’ve hopes of constructing the playoffs. However, if Burrow is sidelined for any period of time, that may be the nail in their coffin. Over the following two weeks, the Bengals will host the Steelers in Week 12 after which head down to Jacksonville to play a prime-time matchup with the Jaguars in Week 13.
