In the Bengals’ 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow left the game in the second quarterback after suffering a toe injury on his left foot. Burrow didn’t return to the game despite being listed as questionable to return.

The injury occurred when Jaguars defensive lineman  Arik Armstead  rolled onto Burrow’s ankle after sacking him. It was the second time Burrow had been sacked in the contest. After the game, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said he had no new information on Burrow’s status, per FOX19’s Joe Danneman.

Before suffering the injury, Burrow completed seven passes for 76 yards and a touchdown. Burrow walked off the field with minimal help from the Bengals’ training staff.

Backup QB Jake Browning replaced Burrow and shined in the star QB’s absence. Browning completed 21-of-his-32 pass attempts for 241 yards and two touchdowns. Browning also threw three interceptions.

Alas, Bengals fans will be quick to forgive the 29-year-old QB, considering he punched in a game-winning sneak from the 1-yard line. Of course, Browning couldn’t pull off the victory alone.

Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was spectacular, reeling in 14 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown. The Bengals’ defense was solid as well, picking off Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence twice.

Burrow’s toe injury is far from his first ailment while in the NFL. In 2020, Burrow suffered a season-ending ACL tear. More recently, Burrow missed the final seven games of the 2023 campaign after suffering an injury to his right wrist. Last year, Burrow revealed the impact the injuries had on his mindset.
