Football injury <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A week before Thanksgiving, the Cincinnati Bengals suffered a loss that is likely to significantly impact the rest of the football season.\u00a0 Not only did the team lose the game against the Baltimore Ravens, but in the second quarter, the Bengals\u2019 star quarterback, Joe Burrow, exited the game with an apparent wrist injury.\u00a0 The issue that has thrown the NFL and fans into an uproar is the suspicion that Burrow sustained the injury prior to the game on Thursday, November 16.\u00a0 The NFL is now investigating the team\u2019s compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The investigation was prompted by a video that the team posted on its social media account, which showed Burrow descending from the Bengals\u2019 bus in a soft cast.\u00a0 The video has since been deleted.\u00a0 In response to the video, Burrow explained that he was wearing a compression sleeve to reduce the chance of potential swelling.\u00a0 The team\u2019s coach, Zac Taylor, advised<\/a> that he was not aware that Burrow was wearing a compression sleeve while on the bus and maintains the understanding that players wear compression clothing for a variety of reasons that may not always include injury.\u00a0 The investigation will determine whether the team was in violation of properly listing Joe Burrow on the injury list, in compliance<\/a> with the NFL Injury Policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to popular speculation, Burrow\u2019s existing injury prior to the game contributed to the painful touchdown pass thrown to Joe Mixon during the second quarter.\u00a0 Earlier in the game, Burrow fell on the wrist that would later cause him issues<\/a>.\u00a0 Taken out of the game, Burrow was unable to throw on the sidelines without wincing in pain.\u00a0 The injury requires surgery and will end Burrow\u2019s season.\u00a0 Some fans have not taken a sympathetic approach to the team\u2019s loss and have even joked on social media that they may sue the Bengals for ruining their weekly fantasy draft selections.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
