Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow Out for Season
Quarterback Suffers Wrist Injury
Bengals' hopes of a Super Bowl run have been dealt a major blow with the news that quarterback Joe Burrow will miss the remainder of the season.
Burrow suffered a torn ligament in his right wrist during a game against the Washington Commanders on December 4th. He underwent surgery to repair the injury, and the Bengals announced on Monday that he will not be able to return to action this season.
This is a devastating blow to the Bengals, who are currently 10-4 and in contention for a playoff spot. Burrow has been playing at an MVP level this season, throwing for 4,475 yards and 35 touchdowns with just 12 interceptions.
The Bengals will now turn to backup quarterback Brandon Allen to lead the offense. Allen has started three games in his career, completing 62.5% of his passes for 597 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions.
The Bengals still have a chance to make the playoffs, but they will need to win their remaining three games and get some help from other teams. They host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16, the Buffalo Bills in Week 17, and the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18.
