A few weeks ago, Burrow expressed his frustrations after the Bengals were eliminated from playoff contention. There were some who believed that the Cincinnati QB might have hinted at leaving the franchise.

Last week, Burrow clarified that his comments were not aimed at the franchise but rather stemmed from his mindset and football in general.

Burrow suffered a turf toe injury in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He missed nine games amid his recovery.

When Burrow returned, Cincinnati had a 3-8 record. He has a 2-2 record since returning as the Bengals' QB1 following his injury.
