Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was the latest player to suffer an injury in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LVI.

Burrow took a sack in the fourth quarter of the game and immediately clutched at his leg. The Bengals quarterback was visibly limping as he left the field, and appeared to be in serious pain after going down.

This was Burrow’s seventh sack of the day, although the first that really appeared to physically affect him. He was also favoring the same knee that he injured as a rookie.

Despite the injury, Burrow waved off the Bengals' medical staff and was back in after a Rams three-and-out.
