Joe Burrow Injures Pinky Finger on Throwing Hand, Will Play Through Injury

Second-year Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow injured his right pinky finger late in the second quarter against the Chargers. By video, Burrow appeared to injure his finger on the touchdown rush, possibly on the snap. Burrow was not touched on the touchdown run, but was shaking his finger as he crossed the goal line. He went to the sideline and had his finger taped multiple times as he tested different grips while throwing. We don't see any reason he wouldn't finish the game, even if he needs a numbing injection at halftime.
