Joe Burrow was transported to the hospital shortly after the Bengals' overtime loss to the Packers, the team announced. The Bengals quarterback is dealing with a throat contusion. Burrow is having trouble speaking, according to Kelsie Conway of Enquirer Sports, and he did not talk to the media after the game.
It is not yet known when Burrow specifically sustained the injury, but the Bengals quarterback spent time in the team's medical tent after getting hit by several Packers defenders late in the first half. Burrow was initially hit by Packer defensive back Darnell Savage as Burrow decided to run on a third-and-12 play.
Burrow did not miss a play on Sunday, however, as he went 26 of 38 for 281 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Burrow continued to have success throwing to rookie Ja'Marr Chase, who caught six passes for 159 yards that included a 70-yard touchdown reception.
Burrow's play helped Cincinnati force overtime before losing the game on Mason Crosby's 49-yard field goal after both teams missed multiple field goals. Cincinnati is now 3-2 after seeing their two-game winning streak come to an end on Sunday.
We'll have more updates on Burrow's condition when more information becomes available.
