Cincinnati Bengals franchise quarterback Joe Burrow needed assistance off the field late in the first half of a Week 2 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Burrow suffered an apparent injury when he was sacked on second down midway through the second quarter. He remained on the ground for a few moments, received assistance from Cincinnati's training staff, and was subbed out before third down. He exited for the locker room while the Bengals were on defense.
