Week 5 is behind the Cincinnati Bengals, but the lingering impact of Sunday’s loss is still being felt in preparation for a three-week road trip beginning with the Detroit Lions.
All ears are pointed in Joe Burrow’s (throat) direction as he is essentially on a word count this week. Burrow went to the hospital Sunday evening to be evaluated for a throat contusion. While he was released and given the OK to practice, head coach Zac Taylor wants to make sure his vocal cords aren’t being stressed.
“We’re just limiting what he has to say and how he’s gotta use his voice through today,” Taylor said before Wednesday’s practice.
