Bengals Believe Joe Burrow Has A Wrist Sprain

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said the belief is that quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) has a sprained right wrist. Burrow exited Thursday's eventual 34-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens with the injury in the second quarter, completing 11-of-17 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown before being forced from the game following his passing score. The 26-year-old couldn't grip the football properly while warming up on the sidelines and was later ruled out near the start of the second half. Burrow's practice status sets up as one of Week 12's pivotal storylines heading into a showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 10 days. Now at 5-5, the Bengals can ill afford to lose their star signal-caller for any amount of time at this juncture of the season amid a heated AFC North race. Jake Browning would fill in for Burrow next Sunday if he isn't healthy enough to play.
