"In a given 100-play sample size, 99 of them could have featured clean pockets for Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Then there's that other play. That's essentially how Bengals coach Zac Taylor framed the state of the team's pass protection in the wake of Burrow's latest big injury. In Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Burrow suffered a turf toe injury that placed him on injured reserve Tuesday."
"This is the third time Burrow has been placed on injured reserve in his career. And it has raised questions about whether the Bengals are doing enough to protect their franchise quarterback. It is, no doubt, a conversation that features multiple angles. But what's clear is the onus isn't being placed solely on the offensive line for what happened to Burrow."
Joe Burrow suffered a turf toe in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has been placed on injured reserve while awaiting pending surgery to repair the digit on his left foot. The injury is projected to sideline him for roughly three months as he recovers. This marks the third time Burrow has been placed on injured reserve in his career and has prompted questions about whether the Bengals are doing enough to protect their franchise quarterback. Coach Zac Taylor emphasized that most plays feature clean pockets and expressed confidence in the offensive line despite scrutiny.
