Burrow's Practice Sidelining Sparks Fan Concern
17 Sep
Summary
- Joe Burrow's participation was limited during the first practice of Week 2.
- The quarterback reassured fans that he would play in the upcoming game.
- Burrow experienced back soreness after a hit in the previous game.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's limited presence during the team's initial Week 2 practice session sparked fan concern. He was absent from the opening stretch and appeared to refrain from significant throwing during the portion of the practice open to media.
Despite the limited participation, Burrow swiftly allayed fears regarding his availability for Cincinnati's Week 2 game against the Houston Texans on Sunday, September 20th. When questioned about the possibility of being held out as a precaution, Burrow firmly rejected the idea, calling it "ridiculous."
This back soreness is attributed to a forceful hit Burrow sustained during the Bengals' Week 1 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The incident occurred in the first quarter when Burrow was pushed out of bounds near the sideline after a scramble.
With Burrow expected to play, veteran Joe Flacco remains the primary backup quarterback for the Bengals as they prepare for Sunday's matchup.
