NFL fans are already getting worried about Joe Burrow after a worrisome video from Cincinnati Bengals practice yesterday surfaced.
Joe Burrow missed the Bengals’ final 10 games in 2023 after suffering a wrist injury in a Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. Burrow underwent season-ending surgery, and the Bengals missed the postseason after finishing 9-8.

Joe Burrow has already been sacked 148 times in 52 games, per Pro Football Reference. This included a league-high 51 sacks taken in the 2021 season to go along with 19 sacks in four playoff games.
2023 marked the second time in four years where Burrow suffered a season-ending injury. He tore his ACL and MCL during his 2020 rookie season, having taken 32 sacks in just 10 games.
Cincinnati signed veteran offensive tackle Trent Brown and used their first-round pick on Amarius Mims to shore up the o-line depth. But only time will tell if de facto GM Duke Tobin and company did enough to ensure Burrow has adequate pass protection here in 2024.
Bengals Will Contend If Joe Burrow Stays Healthy
If Joe Burrow can stay healthy, the Bengals will unquestionably be one of the top players for the Super Bowl this year. In his two healthy seasons, Cincinnati has played in two AFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl.
Burrow also holds a 3-1 record against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, with all three games being decided by a single score. So if he’s on the field, the Bengals are by far Kansas City’s biggest threat in the AFC.
