The NFL has launched an investigation into the Cincinnati Bengals after star quarterback Joe Burrow left Thursday night's game with a wrist injury. Burrow was not listed on the team's injury report before the game, but a deleted video showed him wearing a soft cast on his right hand. On the Bengals' touchdown drive in the second quarter, Burrow was seen in clear pain as he threw a touchdown pass. Bengals coach Zac Taylor later confirmed that Burrow had sprained his wrist. The league takes injury report violations seriously and teams found to be in violation can face fines or docked draft picks. The Bengals have not yet responded to the investigation. Jake Browning replaced Burrow in the game and the Bengals ultimately lost 34-20. Despite the loss, Taylor remained optimistic about the team's playoff chances, saying they have a chance to regroup and control their own destiny. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
