"Quarterback Joe Burrow won't be activated from injured reserve by the Bengals ahead of Saturday's 4 p.m. deadline, making him inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Joe Flacco will get the start at quarterback for Cincinnati instead."
"Earlier this week, it appeared that Burrow was set to come back sooner from his turf toe injury than expected and play Sunday's game against the Patriots. He was a full participant at Wednesday and Thursday's practices, which is typically a good sign for a player's availability for an upcoming."
""We'll take the time we've got, assess all the practice we've had this week," Taylor said. "He's done everything he can to try to put himself and get ready to go. Now I have to make a decision on what we do.""
"The Bengals have struggled without their star quarterback this season, going 1-7 in the games Burrow's missed. But Flacco has given Cincinnati solid play since it traded for him in October, throwing for 1,453 yards, 12 touchdowns, and three interceptions with a 96.2 passer rating over five games."
Joe Burrow will not be activated from injured reserve and is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Joe Flacco will start at quarterback for Cincinnati. Burrow was a full participant in Wednesday and Thursday practices but was limited on Friday and listed as questionable. The decision accounts for the Bengals playing two games in five days, including a Thanksgiving matchup. Burrow suffered a turf toe in Week 2 and was initially expected to miss three months, though a Thanksgiving return had been targeted. The Bengals are 1-7 in games Burrow missed; Flacco has recorded 1,453 yards, 12 touchdowns, three interceptions, and a 96.2 passer rating over five games.
