The Cincinnati Bengals officially moved Joe Burrow to injured reserve on Saturday before the team’s Week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
With Burrow heading to injured reserve, the Bengals made a corresponding move by elevating AJ McCarron from the practice squad to serve as backup behind Jake Browning.
Taking Burrow’s place on the 53-man roster is rookie running back Chase Brown, who had his 21-day return window opened this week after missing four games on injured reserve.
These all fall under the expected column. While the team hasn’t revealed surgery or timeline info for Burrow just yet, he was declared out for the year last week due to ligament damage in his wrist.
