Joe Burrow was having a bit of a lopsided debut NFL season with the Cincinnati Bengals. The 2020 NFL draft pick was in contention for the NFL MVP race alongside fellow Los Angeles Chargers rookie Justin Herbert. However, his unfortunate injury on Sunday has changed things for the promising quarterback.
Joe Burrow was having a decent outing against the Washington Football Team earlier today. The former LSU man went 22 of 34, throwing for 203 yards with 1 passing touchdown to his name.
However, the rook suffered a nasty-looking injury after he was tackled by Chase Young and his Washington teammates.

Hate to see Joe Burrow carted off with a knee injury. Hope it's not as bad as it appears. But the kid plays with such guts under fire yet has taken so much punishment playing for a bad team.

Joe Burrow doesn't need prayers. I prayed for him to not get hurt this year. He need's a better OL & A good ass surgeon & rehab facility.
