Optimism Surrounding Joe Burrow's Monday Night Status

Optimism Surrounding Joe Burrow's Monday Night Status

one year ago

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) went through a workout on Monday morning and there is optimism that he will play and that his status for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams is trending in the right direction, according to sources. Burrow is campaigning with the coaching staff and trainers to play, but his status remains uncertain. Burrow's final status for Week 3 will become official soon. If the 26-year-old is inactive, backup Jake Browning would start for the Bengals, which would be a big downgrade for all of the team's offensive skill players in terms of fantasy upside. Burrow missed all of training camp and the preseason because of his calf injury, and it's led to a slow start for the entire Bengals offense.
