NFL Clears Bengals of Wrongdoing in Joe Burrow Injury Investigation

The NFL has cleared the Cincinnati Bengals of any wrongdoing after investigating their failure to place quarterback Joe Burrow on the injury report in Week 11. The league reviewed medical records, practice footage, and interviewed medical personnel, finding no violations of the injury report policy. Burrow, who is out for the season with a torn ligament in his wrist, addressed questions about a brace on his hand, stating it was a preventative measure. Violating the injury report policy could have resulted in a loss of draft picks or a substantial fine for the Bengals.
