With their season essentially on the line, the Cincinnati Bengals have some concerning Joe Burrow injury news to monitor ahead of Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.
Per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk, Joe Burrow was listed on the Bengals’ injury report with right wrist and shin injuries. Burrow required season-ending surgery on his right wrist last year.
Alper added that Burrow fully practiced in Thursday’s practice, so he should be good to go on Sunday. But the injury is nonetheless concerning given that it’s on Burrow’s throwing wrist that ended his 2023 season early, so it’s something to follow.
Burrow has never won a road game against the Bengals’ archrivals, but the chance to end the drought is right there for the taking. The Browns are 1-5 and feature football’s worst starting quarterback of 2024 in Deshaun Watson, after all.

The Bengals kept their season alive, for now, with a pivotal Week 6 road win over old friend Andy Dalton and the Carolina Panthers. Despite their 2-4 record, the Bengals are right in the mix for the final two AFC wild card spots.
So a victory for Joe Burrow and company on Sunday would keep the Bengals’ playoff hopes very much alive. A Cincy victory, coupled with Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers losses, would have them just one game out of first in the division.
Joe Burrow Is Off To An Excellent Start For Bengals
Most of Burrow’s teammates haven’t done their part through the first six weeks, but the 2020 first-overall pick is off to an MVP-like start. He has completed 71.6 percent of pass attempts for 1,578 yards, 12 touchdowns and only two interceptions.
The Bengals know that the offense will function just fine with Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins leading the way. If the ground game and defense could start doing its job, these guys could very well climb right back into the playoff picture.
Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
