During the Thursday Night Football loss, Burrow wore a compression sleeve but denied having experienced the injury before the game. He explained to reporters that it was a completely new injury, unrelated to anything prior. Despite appearing to be in pain on his final play, a touchdown pass to Joe Mixon, Burrow was ruled out just before halftime, though he wasn’t listed on the Bengals’ injury report.
Prior to his injury, Burrow had thrown for 2,309 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions, leading the Bengals to a 5-4 record. The former No. 1 overall pick signed a record-breaking deal last September, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history. Following Burrow’s injury, the NFL investigated the Bengals’ decision not to include him on their injury report.
