When the Cincinnati Bengals opened up Phase 2 of their offseason program with voluntary OTAs on Tuesday, the vast majority of the team was onsite. They were missing a few, including Trey Hendrickson and Germaine Pratt, but the biggest name not in attendance was franchise quarterback Joe Burrow.
While it was never officially stated why he wasn’t in attendance (it is voluntary), it’s largely assumed it has a lot to do with the fact he was in New York City attending the Met Gala the night before.
Well, all is now right with the world, because Burrow is back, complete with his headband, and will be leading the quarterbacks through drills on Wednesday.
