Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow sustained an injury after his pocket collapsed in the second quarter on Sunday. Burrow attempted to scramble against the Jacksonville Jaguars but then took a hit. As a result, Burrow limped off with trainers and quickly went to the blue medical tent. signal-caller Jake Browning has since replaced Burrow in the matchup.
Cincinnati’s offensive line had already allowed three sacks throughout the matchup against Jacksonville before the second half.
Cincinnati Bengals Fans Furious With Offensive Line Over Joe Burrow Injury
Bengals’ fans blame the offensive line for the injury to the former LSU superstar. While with the Tigers, Burrow led them to a National Championship for the 2019 season and won a Heisman Trophy that same year.
It appears Burrow’s ankle is being tended to following the sack. After spending time in the blue medical tent, Burrow was assisted to the locker room with a visible limp and medical staff on either side of him. It has since been reported that an injury was sustained to his toe.

Jacksonville currently leads the Bengals 17-10 at the half.
“That Bengals offensive line is trying to get Joe Burrow injured. That has to be the only excuse, because there is no way they are that bad, not on purpose,” said another NFL fan.
