Many NFL fans are going crazy on social media following Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s exit against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. Burrow left the game with a wrist injury.
Per a statement by the Bengals, Burrow was ruled questionable to return against the Ravens due to a right wrist injury.

It didn’t take long for fans to piece together an interesting video that surfaced Wednesday night of Burrow. Tom Pelissero with the NFL Network posted a Tweet of Amazon’s broadcast showing Burrow walking into the stadium Thursday with a brace/wrap around his now-injured wrist.
The Bengals didn’t place Burrow on the injury report.
The @PrimeVideo broadcast showed this video of #Bengals QB Joe Burrow getting off the team bus with a brace/wrap around his right wrist and thumb.

Fans on X mostly believe the video indicates Burrow had some injury before the game. If that were true, Burrow should have been on the injury report.
The Bengals haven’t commented on those allegations yet, but one would assume reporters will ask before the night is over. Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith was asked about Bijan Robinson’s undisclosed headache before a game earlier this year.
Here are the best takes of fans questioning the suspicious video.
Big fine incoming from NFL

They’re getting in trouble for not listing him right ?

Honestly the NFL may need to make an example out of the Bengals & take away a 3rd or 4th round pick for not reporting Burrows injury in the first place. This has to start somewhere.

Wish I knew that I would’ve doubled down in all my Burrows yards under bets

Could it be related from last week’s game? pic.twitter.com/yy73RaSzqM
