Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow gave fans quite a scare during his team’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.
There, Burrow popped off for 428 yards and four touchdowns, but also seemed to take a massive hit on every other play, if not more often.
At one point, after a late-hit that went unflagged despite the defender taking three steps and levelling him, Burrow was seen on the sidelines struggling to pick up his helmet with his non-throwing hand, a theme of the broadcast until it ended.
While meeting with reporters on Friday, though, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Burrow is simply bruised and nothing more.
With how vague Taylor has been about injuries over the years, fans are justified in being nervous about the injury report next week. But for now, it appears to be good news on the Burrow front and they have an extended break to rest up before Week 11.
