The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens faced off in a highly anticipated matchup on Sunday, but the game was marred by an injury to Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Burrow suffered a wrist injury in the second quarter of the game and was forced to exit the field.
The injury occurred when Burrow was hit by Ravens defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. Burrow immediately grabbed his wrist and was attended to by the Bengals medical staff. After a few minutes, he was escorted off the field and into the locker room.
The severity of the injury is not yet known, but it is likely that Burrow will miss some time. This is a huge blow to the Bengals, who are already struggling to stay competitive in the AFC North. Without Burrow, the Bengals will have to rely on backup quarterback Ryan Finley to lead the offense.
The injury is also a huge disappointment for Burrow, who was off to a great start this season. He had thrown for 1,688 yards and 10 touchdowns in just six games. He was also showing signs of improvement in his decision-making and pocket presence.
The Bengals will now have to wait and see how long Burrow will be out for. In the meantime, they will have to hope that Finley can step up and lead the team in Burrow’s absence. It will be a difficult task, but one that the Bengals must face if they are to stay competitive in the AFC North.
