The NFL's investigation involving Joe Burrow's wrist injury has concluded according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.

The league found that the Bengals were fully compliant with their injury report prior to Cincinnati's Week 11 loss to Baltimore.

Burrow suffered a torn ligament in his right wrist during the game. He underwent successful surgery last month and is expected to make a full recovery.

The NFL launched an investigation after Burrow was spotted with a compression sleeve on his right hand while walking off of the Bengals' flight to Baltimore.

"This is a completely different thing," Burrow said.

The NFL reviewed medical records, practice video, plus they interviewed medical personal and Burrow as part of the investigation according to Tom Pelissero.
