Joe Burrow Leaves After Taking Big Hit, Avoids Serious Injury

Bengals second-year quarterback Joe Burrow left the Packers game late in the second quarter after taking a big hit on a run. Medical personnel initially checked out Burrow's neck before he got up and jogged to the sideline. Burrow was checked in the medical tent before returning to the bench area. He is likely to return to the game next time the Bengals get the ball.

Update

Burrow returned to the game and threw a touchdown on the next drive. After the game, Burrow was reportedly evaluated at a hospital for a throat contusion.
