"Per multiple reports, the Bengals have traded for Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco. The Bengals have dealt a fifth-round pick to the Browns, who have sent back Flacco and a sixth-rounder in return. With Burrow still on the sidelines with a turf toe injury that required surgery, the Bengals were thumped by the Detroit Lions in Week 5, their 37-24 home defeat following similarly heavy losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos with backup Jake Browning starting under center."
"A Super Bowl-winner with the Baltimore Ravens in the 2012 season, the Bengals will be Flacco's seventh different NFL team. His first game will come at Lambeau Field, with the Bengals set to face the Green Bay Packers on the road in Week 6 as they aim to stay in contention in the AFC North until Burrow's return. The Bengals' starter is unlikely to make his comeback until Week 16 at the earliest."
The Cincinnati Bengals acquired quarterback Joe Flacco from the Cleveland Browns, sending a fifth-round pick and receiving Flacco plus a sixth-rounder. Joe Burrow remains sidelined after turf toe surgery and is unlikely to return before Week 16. Backup Jake Browning started recent games as the Bengals suffered three straight losses, including a 37-24 Week 5 home defeat to the Detroit Lions. Flacco started the first four games for Cleveland before being benched and losing the job to rookie Dillon Gabriel. Flacco, 40, is a 2012 Super Bowl winner and will target Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Flacco's Bengals debut is scheduled for Week 6 at Lambeau Field.
