The Cincinnati Bengals have been cleared by the NFL over a Joe Burrow-related injury controversy.
The Bengals had been discovered to be in full compliance with NFL injury reporting guidelines forward of their Week 11 recreation towards the Baltimore Ravens, in accordance to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. That means the staff is not going to face any penalties over claims that they hid a wrist injury to Burrow heading into the competition.
Burrow appeared in a staff video wearing some sort of wrist sleeve when the Bengals arrived in Baltimore, although he was not listed on the injury report forward of the sport. Speculation grew that the Bengals may need been hiding one thing when Burrow suffered what turned out to be a season-ending wrist injury in that week’s recreation. After the sport, Burrow stated he was simply wearing a compression sleeve for the team flight.
The Bengals might have been fined and even stripped of a draft choose if the NFL discovered that they had been hiding a pre-existing injury to Burrow. Ultimately, his rationalization appears to have checked out.
