Bengals star Joe Burrow listed as questionable: Here's what Zac Taylor said about Week 2 status
Follow
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is designated as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Houston Texans due to back tightness. Burrow's practice involvement was restricted on Wednesday and Thursday before he returned to take part completely in Friday's workout, where he delivered over twelve throws without visible physical distress.
The issue originated during Cincinnati's Week 1 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, sparked in part by a first-quarter third-and-6 collision with Alex Anzalone.
Head coach Zac Taylor noted on Friday that Burrow took part in every drill and felt positive, though the team is keeping its options open because back ailments can fluctuate unpredictably. To safeguard the roster over the coming two days, Taylor acknowledged that the Bengals are weighing whether to promote quarterback Josh Johnson from the practice squad to serve as an emergency third option.
