Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning left Sunday’s win over the Indianapolis Colts with what looked like a thumb injury before eventually returning, with the team revealing that he was suffering from cramps.
It was a scary moment and one players in the locker room after the game said was a bit of deja vu given Joe Burrow’s injury just a few weeks ago. Browning ran right to the locker room, only to return later.
After the game, though, Browning hit the interview circuit and revealed that he simply hadn’t been hydrating properly because of the cold.
This culminated in a funny Instagram post with the caption “Reminder to everyone to hydrate” the same night:
Or as he put it after the game:
"It's cold so then I just don't drink water and then I cramp and then I'm pissed off."
