Bengals star Joe Burrow listed as questionable: Here's what Zac Taylor said about Week 2 status

Joe Burrow has received a questionable designation ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals' upcoming Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans. The quarterback experienced back tightness following heavy collisions in a Week 1 victory over the Buccaneers, including a first-quarter collision with Alex Anzalone on a third-down conversion attempt.

That physical toll restricted Burrow during Wednesday and Thursday drills before he rebounded to participate without restrictions on Friday, unleashing over a dozen throws without any visible pain during open media viewing.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor shared that his passer completed Friday's workout and felt well, though the unpredictability of back stiffness prompted the team to maintain an uncertain official status. Cincinnati is also weighing whether to promote veteran quarterback Josh Johnson from the practice squad to provide extra depth as an emergency third option on Sunday.
