The course of the Cincinnati Bengals’ season might have been altered on Sunday.
Joe Burrow went down with an apparent lower left leg injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The injury occurred when Burrow was sacked by Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead, who wrapped up the Bengals quarterback around his ankles to take him down.
Burrow remained down for a few moments, pointing to his lower left leg and appeared to be in pain as he took his helmet off when trainers tended to him.
Jake Browning came in for Burrow, who went inside the blue medical tent. He briefly walked with a limp on the Bengals’ sideline before heading to the locker room. Burrow remained out for the rest of the first half as the Jaguars took a 17-10 lead into the break.
Burrow led the league last season with 4,918 passing yards and 43 passing touchdowns, but has had some significant season-ending injuries in his six-year career. He had a knee injury in his rookie season in 2020, where he missed six games and a wrist injury in 2023 that kept him out for the final seven games.
Burrow was 7 of 13 for 76 yards and a 4-yard TD pass to Ja’Marr Chase against the Jaguars.
