Fans call out NFL over findings from Joe Burrow injury report investigation - Dolphins potential cancellation from the league endured

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow injured his wrist, leading to season-ending surgery. Backup QB Jake Browning stepped up in recent games.

In Week 11, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a wrist injury while playing against the Baltimore Ravens. This injury, sustained while throwing a touchdown pass to Joe Mixon, was severe enough to require season-ending surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist.

Prior to this, there were reports of Burrow being seen wearing a cast in a social media post, which was later deleted. This led to speculation about whether the Bengals had violated league policy by concealing the extent of his injury.

After a thorough investigation, the league cleared both Burrow and the Bengals of any wrongdoing. However, some fans remain skeptical, drawing comparisons to the NFL's mishandling of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's concussion last season.

With Burrow sidelined, the Bengals will look to wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to step up. Chase, who has a strong connection with Burrow dating back to their college days at LSU, expressed his readiness to take on a more vocal leadership role in the absence of the star quarterback.

In his absence, Chase has been a standout performer, earning recognition as the 2021 Offensive Rookie of the Year and a two-time Pro Bowler. With 86 catches for 1,063 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games, he has proven himself as a key player for the Bengals.

While Burrow's absence is a significant loss for the team, the Bengals have shown resilience in their recent victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Backup quarterback Jake Browning delivered an impressive performance, receiving praise from his teammates on the defensive side for his football knowledge and contributions to team meetings.

The Bengals' upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts will be a test for the team, but with players like Chase and Browning stepping up, there is still hope for success. The game will be broadcast on CBS at 1 PM ET, and fans will be eager to see how the Bengals perform in the absence of their star quarterback.
