Bengals QB Joe Burrow Exits Bengals-Jaguars Game With Ankle Injury

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow left the Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after sustaining an apparent ankle injury from a sack midway through the second quarter. Burrow was slow to get up, removed his helmet, and was seen grasping at his left ankle before being helped off the field and taken to the medical tent for evaluation. Backup quarterback Jake Browning replaced him on the following play as Burrow was escorted to the locker room with assistance. The injury occurred amid ongoing concerns about the Bengals' offensive line, which allowed consistent pressure on Burrow throughout the first half. The exact nature and severity of Burrow's injury remain unclear, leaving the Bengals in a difficult position for the remainder of the game. Burrow finished the day with 83 yards, one touchdown, and 7-for-13 passing attempts before exiting.
