The Cincinnati Bengals have been eagerly anticipating the start of the season, with the addition of Joe Burrow as their new quarterback. However, Burrow’s start to the season may be in jeopardy due to an injury he suffered during practice.
Burrow, the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was injured during a practice session on Sunday. He was seen limping off the field after a play and was later diagnosed with a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee. The injury is expected to keep him out for the remainder of the season, and possibly longer.
The Bengals have already had to adjust their plans for the season due to the injury. They have signed veteran quarterback Brandon Allen to fill in for Burrow while he recovers. Allen has some experience in the NFL, but it is unclear if he will be able to lead the Bengals to success in Burrow’s absence.
The Bengals were hoping that Burrow would be able to help turn around their fortunes this season. He was seen as a potential franchise quarterback and was expected to make an immediate impact on the team. Unfortunately, his injury has put a damper on those plans.
The Bengals will now have to rely on Allen and other players to help them make it through the season. It remains to be seen if they can find success without Burrow, but it is certainly going to be a challenge.
The injury to Joe Burrow has put a major dent in the Bengals’ plans for the season. It remains to be seen how they will fare without him, but it is certainly going to be a difficult task. The team will have to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by Burrow’s injury. Only time will tell if they can find success without him.
