Joe Burrow shuts down ‘ridiculous’ Bengals injury concern after being limited at practice

Joe Burrow took to the podium on Wednesday to dismiss worries surrounding his physical condition after logging partial reps in Cincinnati Bengals practice. Fresh off a Week 1 triumph over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the franchise signal-caller explained that he is managing back tightness that surfaced following the opening contest.

Burrow voiced complete confidence about suiting up for the Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans, affirming he plans to compete as long as surgery is not required. Should any complication arise, Cincinnati retains experienced backup passer Joe Flacco on the depth chart.
