Burrow Officially Questionable Sunday vs. Texans, Taylor Says He’s Good to Go
Coach Zac Taylor said Burrow was a full participant in Friday practice after back tightness limited him earlier in the week.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will play against the Houston Texans on Sept. 20 after participating fully in practice on Friday following a week of limited activity.
Back tightness limited Burrow during practice earlier this Sept. after the team's Week 1 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, causing the quarterback to scale back early-week activity.
Bengals coach Zac Taylor said he "feels good" about Burrow's availability, emphasizing the quarterback's competitiveness and stating he does not want to mitigate injury risk.
Defensive end Shemar Stewart will make his season debut after missing Week 1, though tackle B.J. Hill remains questionable with Achilles soreness.
Cincinnati seeks a 2-0 start for the second consecutive year while hoping to avoid a repeat of 2023, when Burrow's turf toe injury sidelined him for nine weeks.
