CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow continues to have throat issues ahead of Sunday's big showdown against the Baltimore Ravens.
For the second straight week, Burrow did not participate in his weekly Wednesday media availability because of lingering effects from a throat contusion. According to a team spokesperson, Bengals doctors advised the quarterback to stay on voice rest because of throat soreness.
Despite the issue, Burrow is expected to play Sunday.
"The doctors said he should rest a little bit more, so that's what we're going to do," Bengals coach Zac Taylor said when asked about the severity of the issue that has plagued Burrow for several weeks.
