Overview

  • Burrow suffered a left toe injury on a second-quarter sack by Jaguars lineman Arik Armstead and was ruled out after halftime.
  • He underwent on-site imaging, including an MRI, and was seen using a walking boot, a one-legged scooter and later a crutch, per local reporters.
  • FOX19’s Jeremy Rauch first reported turf toe with torn ligaments and an expectation of several weeks out, a diagnosis corroborated by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and CBS Sports.
  • Browning went 21-of-32 for 241 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, then scored the winning 1-yard sneak to move Cincinnati to 2-0.
  • With Zac Taylor offering no official timeline, Browning is positioned to start as the Bengals face a challenging stretch at Minnesota, at Denver, vs. Detroit and at Green Bay, a crucial span given Burrow’s past ACL and wrist injuries.
