Joe Burrow Will Start In Week 5
Joe Burrow Will Start In Week 5
one year ago
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) will start and play in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. The fact that Taylor had to confirm that Burrow would start this weekend just goes to show how bad he's been through the first four games of 2023. A calf injury that he originally suffered at the start of training camp has been to blame for a lot of it, but he was able to practice in full all of last week before disappointing yet again the Week 4 blowout loss against a vulnerable Tennessee Titans defense. The 26-year-old former first overall pick in 2020 has completed a career-low 57.6% of his passes for 728 yards, only two touchdowns and two picks. Burrow is the QB31 through four games and has been held under 200 yards passing in two contests. We wouldn't blame you if you benched him until he looks more like the Burrow of old.
