After getting injured in the second half of his rookie season, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is back and ready to go for year two at the helm.

While it’s exciting to have Burrow back in action, Bengals owner and president Mike Brown announced that the Bengals don’t plan to play Burrow during the three preseason games in August. Ben Baby of ESPN provided the quote below:

We probably aren’t going to put him out there until we get to the season because we don’t want to risk anything with him,” Brown said in his first news conference since 2019.
