Looks like Joe Burrow can’t seem to stay out of the spotlight, and frankly, who can blame him? That’s just part and parcel of being the highest-paid player in the NFL. The Cincinnati Bengals’ darling quarterback suffered a calf injury during their clash against the Cleveland Browns and let’s be real, it threw a wrench in the works. The Bengals took a hard 24-3 hit that felt like a fumble in the fourth quarter.

Now, the Bengals are ready to lock horns with the Baltimore Ravens on their home turf this Sunday. With Burrow on ‘limited’ action, how’s the gridiron landscape going to shape up?

The Cincinnati Bengals just dropped their first injury report, and while Burrow rocked the ‘full participant’ status like a touchdown dance, the team took a hit that’d make even the toughest defense cringe. DE Joseph Ossai, linebacker Logan Wilson, running back Chris Evans, and Cam Sample are all playing the ‘limited participant’ card. Four key players in the injury spotlight? That’s like a four-down situation, and the Bengals need to convert.
