CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Flacco will make yet another begin at quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals after Joe Burrow was not activated to the roster for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
Burrow was listed as questionable on Friday’s damage report after taking first-team snaps this week as he continues his comeback from a turf toe damage. The six-year veteran was downgraded to out on Saturday as a substitute of being taken off injured reserve.
Cincinnati’s franchise quarterback suffered the damage to his left large toe in the course of the first half of the Sept. 14 recreation towards Jacksonville.
Assuming he has no main setbacks, Burrow is more likely to begin when the Bengals play at Baltimore on Thanksgiving night time in an important AFC North matchup. Burrow indicated he was pointing towards that recreation throughout a media availability on Nov. 10.
With the quick week, the Bengals are more likely to have solely walkthrough practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, which means Burrow wanted to get 11-on-11 work this previous week.
Flacco will make his sixth begin for the Bengals (3-7), who’ve dropped seven of eight video games.
