"CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will not start on Sunday against the New England Patriots, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Burrow will remain on injured reserve and not be activated by Saturday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. That means Joe Flacco will make his sixth straight start with the Bengals. Burrow was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game after he made significant progress from a turf toe injury that has sidelined him since Week 2."
"The two-time Pro Bowler was a full participant at Wednesday and Thursday's practices before being limited on Friday. Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Burrow did everything he could to put himself in a position to play and Burrow told ESPN there were no setbacks through the week. However, Taylor made the decision to hold Burrow out for at least an additional week. The Bengals have two games in five days, with a showdown against the Baltimore Ravens looming on Thanksgiving Day."
