Joe Burrow injury: Bengals QB exits Week 2 matchup vs. Jaguars with apparent leg issue

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow went to the locker room after suffering an apparent leg injury during the first half of Sunday’s Week 2 matchup against the Jaguars. 

Burrow left the game after he was sacked by Jaguars pass rusher Arik Armstead with 9:02 left in the first half. Burrow remained on the ground for several moments before leaving the field with the assistance of the Bengals’ training staff. He was helped to the locker room moments later. 

The NFL’s reigning Comeback Player of the Year, Burrow went 7 of 13 for 76 yards and a touchdown prior to leaving Sunday’s game. 

Burrow has been replaced by Jack Browning, a seven-year veteran who has been with the Bengals since the 2021 season. In 2023, Browning went 4-3 as Cincinnati’s starter after Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury in Week 11. 

We’ll provide an update on Burrow’s status as soon as one is available.
