He may have been a full participant this week, but Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Joe Burnow will be sidelined in Week 12.
Burrow is reportedly out of action for the Bengals’ game against the New England Patriots on Sunday without practicing this week.
Burrow has been working his way back from a turf toe injury suffered in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Paycor Stadium, which required surgery. But there is hope the franchise quarterback will return this week after missing eight games.

Unfortunately for the burrow, the number now moves to nine. Also, Joe Flakco, whom Cincinnati traded from the Cleveland Browns earlier this season, will start his sixth straight game with the burgow.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Friday that he has to be careful with the streak, even if he does full time Wednesday and Thursday. He was assigned as a limited participant on Friday, however, which led to some feelings about his availability on Sunday.
Bengals’ Joe Flacco, 40, hopes to be the starting quarterback for any team next season
Burrow, who remains on the final injured list, is listed as “doubtful” for the game against our allies.
Reason for caution surrounding the Bengals playing two games in five days, as they have the Baltimore Ravens tonight thanks to the road. Perhaps the contests and fakes are referring to the holiday with his long-awaited return to the field.
The fact that Burrow has a chance to come back is something fans don’t think they saw coming into the burn after needing an injury. Turf Toe infections can cause stiffness, but surgery is often the only option for a player.

But Burrow has been doing just fine when he’s been spotted this week, as the Bengals have allowed him in the first offense. With the Bengals having gone 1-7 since his absence, fans were certainly hoping he would be able to play on Sunday.
In his two starts this season, Border threw for 189 yards and two touchdowns. Jake Browning, his backup in week 2, finished the jaguars to start the season 0-2, but the lists have led to the sale of FLACCO, who started from Cincinnati.
The 40-year-old, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury, began his worst appearance in a Bengals uniform last week – a loss to Pittsburgh. Flacco was 23 for 199 yards with no passing touchdowns and six picks.

The losing streak of the Bengals is not true, since Flampco has limited problems and found some chemistry with the receivers, especially ja’marrr Chase. Cincinnati’s defense ranks worst in the NFL in key stats, including yards allowed per game (418.2) and points allowed (33.4).
