The injury to Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow overshadowed star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase’s big day.
The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2 with a final score of 31-27, but it came at a devastating price. Quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a turf-toe injury in the first half and was removed from the game. Images of the injury are being sent to noted foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson for review. If surgery is required, Burrow is expected to be sidelined for around three months.
Before the injury occurred, Burrow and Chase connected for four catches, 37 yards and a touchdown. The star wide receiver was warming up, racking up ten more catches and 128 yards with backup quarterback Jake Browning. This was a much better outing than week one, where Chase only recorded two receptions and 26 total yards, not quite the result fantasy managers have become accustomed to over his five-year career. If Burrow is sidelined for the next three months, Browning or another quarterback will rely on Ja’Marr heavily if the Bengals want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
