Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow leaves game vs. Washington with knee injury

Quarterback Joe Burrow was carted off with an serious left knee injury in the third quarter of the Cincinnati Bengals’ road game against the Washington Football Team.

CBS wouldn’t even show the replay, noting “it wasn’t pretty,” but the injury occured when Jonathan Allen hit Burrow as he threw an incomplete pass on a third-and-2. The entire team surrounded Burrow as he was helped to the cart to be taken to the locker room. The Bengals have officially declared him out for the remainder of the game.

Thanks for all the love. Can’t get rid of me that easy. See ya next year✊
