Hold the phone, Batman. The Cincinnati Bengals’ season just took a dramatic turn.
On Thursday, news started swirling that quarterback Joe Burrow reported to the Bengals matchup against the Ravens with a brace on his right wrist. The revelation was a bit shocking, given that Cincinnati didn’t put Burrow on the injury report. Then, more chatter started when Burrow left the game and did not return after seemingly banging up the same wrist.
Joe Burrow has already dealt with several injuries during his professional career, and that latest injury news was doing little to help the Bengals’ currently underwhelming season.
Yet, on Friday, the Bengals revealed another shocking turn of events.
Joe Burrow is out for the remainder of the season.

Here’s how fans reacted to learning that Joe Burrow’s wrist injury was season-ending:
Oh my lord. This is awful. So sorry, Bengals fans. Chiefs- Bengals rivalry doesn’t hit the same with Burrow not playing. Hope he can finally have a healthy season, next year. 🙏 https://t.co/NtD0u5ZK8b

This sucks for the Bengals, for Burrow, for the Chiefs and any fan of the NFL. We’re all being robbed of watching a great QB play in what would still likely be meaningful games. https://t.co/PBlJP9MbmL

Wild to lose two big-time players like Burrow and Andrews, both done for the year, in the same 1st half of the same game https://t.co/xSa7aufNEf pic.twitter.com/t510f4eIPY
