The Cincinnati Bengals had a nightmare of a season with a 6-11 record as Joe Burrow suffered yet another massive injury. Making matters worse, Burrow's rapid return from turf toe surgery kind of saved the Bengals from a soft tank that could've gotten them higher in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Not that I'm complaining about Burrow being on the field. Any chance to watch him play is a joy and a privilege. However, now that the NFL Scouting Combine is in full swing, Thursday saw some plot twists that could doom Cincinnati's hopes to get a blue-chip player to help their defense with the 10th overall pick.
