JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Cincinnati Bengals promoted veteran quarterback AJ McCarron to bolster depth in the wake of Joe Burrow's season-ending injury.

McCarron was signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad, the team announced ahead of Monday night's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. McCarron will remain the primary backup behind Jake Browning, who will make his second career start.

McCarron was signed to the practice squad after Burrow re-injured his right calf in a Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
