Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was limited with a calf injury during the first few weeks of the season and it clearly impacted his play. After becoming healthy over the past few weeks, Burrow has looked like his dominant self once again. But ahead of Cincinnati’s game against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, it looks like he could be dealing with yet another injury.
On Wednesday, the Cincinnati Bengals posted and quickly deleted a video that showed Joe Burrow appearing to wear some sort of brace on his right throwing hand.
While the team’s video may have been deleted, a video from Caleb Noe of WCPO showed the brace when Burrow got off the team bus in Baltimore.
“Lots of talk about a deleted #Bengals post, which showed Joe Burrow wearing some type of brace or sleeve on his right wrist. Here’s video of Burrow getting off the team bus in Baltimore. Not a perfectly clear shot, but you can definitely see it on his hand,” Noe said in the post.
It’s pretty concerning news for the star quarterback ahead of a massive game against the AFC North division leaders, and the NFL world had a lot to say about it on social media as a result.

It’s worth noting that Burrow is not listed on the team’s official injury report, but it’s clear that there is indeed some sort of brace on his wrist. We’ll have to see how the apparent injury affects him on Sunday night.
