Joe Burrow’s season-ending wrist injury is brutal news for the Bengals, who now likely have to rely on backup quarterback Jake Browning to save their season. Browning, who played four years of college football at Washington, is in his fifth NFL season but had not played in a game until this year.
Cincinnati is the latest team to have to regroup at quarterback, as there are now six teams who likely lost their starter to injury for the season. It also led to former longtime backup QB Chase Daniel to chime in about the state of the position in the NFL.
“What a wasted season for The Bengals…with that roster,” Daniel said on social media. “The BACK-UP QB is so damn important. Maybe this will be a sign for teams to SPEND on great backups!”
