Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will miss the remainder of the season due to a wrist injury, head coach Zac Taylor announced Friday.
Taylor said Burrow likely will need surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist.
An MRI on Friday morning revealed the severity of the injury for Burrow, hours after he exited the Bengals’ 34-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the second quarter. Burrow bent over in obvious pain after throwing a 4-yard touchdown to Joe Mixon with 5:49 remaining.
Burrow said he felt a pop in his wrist on the TD pass but was in discomfort before that play.
He said “everything that I’ve seen so far is that surgery is going to be needed.” He plans to discuss options.
