Bengals QB Joe Burrow Limited in Practice, Raises Concerns for Week 2
Confirmed
In Short: Joe Burrow, dealing with back tightness, was limited in practice, sparking concerns for the Bengals' Week 2 game against the Houston Texans.
Joe Burrow, the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, revealed he is dealing with 'back tightness' after feeling it following their recent win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Burrow was limited in practice as the team prepares for their Week 2 matchup with the Houston Texans.
According to reports from CBS Sports, Burrow did not participate in the warm-up period and did not throw the ball during the normal warm-up with the other quarterbacks. However, he threw with Joe Flacco before the team's stretching period. Burrow stated, 'If I'm not getting surgery, I'll be out there,' indicating he expects to play in the upcoming game.
The Cincinnati Bengals returned to practice for the first time since their victory in Week 1, with Burrow being the focus of the first injury report of the week. While Burrow was limited, the team did not cancel practice, and he answered all questions about his injury, suggesting he is not seriously hurt. However, his limited participation has raised concerns, especially given his history of injuries.
The Bengals' Super Bowl hopes could be quickly derailed by an injury to Burrow, who has dealt with multiple serious injuries in his career. The team's cautious approach to his condition, including his limited practice and the normal press conference, has led to speculation and questions among fans and media alike.

What's still developing
- Joe Burrow (back) spoke with reporters following practice, revealing he’s dealing with “back tightness” and he started feeling it sometime after last Sunday’s win.
- Hill, like last week, is being reserved in practice as he’s still coming back from his foot injury.
- Instilling a sense of urgency in the locker room is not the only thing quarterback Joe Burrow is doing to get the Cincinnati Bengals back to the postseason.
- If he were dealing with a serious injury, the Bengals would likely have canceled it, but instead, the QB answered every question he was asked about the injury.
- If Burrow can't play on Sunday, then the Bengals would turn the offense over to Joe Flacco, but it doesn't sound like that's going to happen. "If I'm not getting surgery, I'll be out there," Burrow said.
