Bengals’ Burrow out for rest of the season

-

Bengals quarterbac­k Joe Burrow will be out the rest of the season due to a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team announced Friday.

Coach Zac Taylor said the injury would require surgery. Burrow left the Bengals game in the second quarter of a 34-20 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

When Burrow tried practice throws on the sideline, the ball slipped out of his hand as the quarterbac­k winced. Burrow then went to the locker room and looked frustrated. This is the second time in Burrow’s four-year NFL career he has suffered a season-ending injury in Week 11. He tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee during a game against Washington in 2020.

Burrow was 11 of 17 for 101 yards and a touchdown when he left. Backup Jake Browning replaced him and will likely be the starter for the rest of the season. The Bengals are 5-5 after two-straight losses. The NFL will investigat­e why the Bengals did not list Burrow on the team’s injury report.

The Bengals had posted and later deleted a video on social media that showed Burrow getting off a team bus with his hand in what appeared to be a soft cast.
