Joe Burrow is out for the season, Bengals announce
Joe Burrow is out for the season, the Cincinnati Bengals announced on Friday after the quarterback left Thursday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens with a wrist injury.
Burrow left in the second quarter after he threw a touchdown pass and did not return. Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said Thursday after the loss that Burrow’s injury looked like a sprain. Taylor added Friday that “This season is far from over.”
Multiple reports suggested that Burrow tore a ligament, and will need surgery to heal the injury.
Jake Browning, a 27-year-old backup who had played in only one NFL game, relieved Burrow and led the Bengals to a field goal to start the second half.
Joe Burrow is out for the remainder of the season.

Burrow has dealt with a calf injury this season that kept him out for portions of training camp, and limited him once the season started.
The Bengals fell to 5-5 on the season after the loss on Thursday.
