Taylor did not answer when asked if this injury could cause Burrow to miss Week 1. Expect the Bengals to put Joe Burrow in bubble wrap for the rest of summer. With NFL kickoff in just over six weeks Joe Cool will have plenty of time to rehab. Cincinnati has said they will be adding another QB to compete with Trevor Siemian and Jake Browning while Burrow is out.

Burrow missed most of last summer following an appendectomy and the Bengals struggled early, losing their first two contests and falling to 2-3 out the gate. While it is possible that the Bengals see another slow start, you cannot bet against Smokin’ Joe Burrow and the NFL’s best WR trio.
