Burrow exited Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a toe injury and has been diagnosed with turf toe and torn ligaments, according to Jeremy Rauch of Fox 19. The expectation is that he will miss multiple weeks.
This is a major blow for the Bengals, who are 2-0, leading the AFC North, and considered early Super Bowl contenders. Backup Jake Browning stepped in after Burrow left and scored the game-winning touchdown, but the team may need him to lead Cincinnati for an extended stretch while Burrow recovers.
Browning stepped up and delivered a 242 all-purpose yards and three total touchdowns performance.
