Joe Burrow has played in games that he doesn’t even remember.
And the Cincinnati Bengals star, mindful of the risks and impact of concussions sustained while playing a brutal sport, chalks it up as an occupational hazard.
“I mean, it’s scary,” Burrow said during an interview on the “Colin Cowherd Podcast” that was published on Wednesday. “Everybody knows the profession that we do. It’s a dangerous game and that’s always a possibility. And when it happens, you collectively hold your breath.”
Go ahead, shudder.
As the NFL and NFL Players Association finish up their review of the concussion suffered last Thursday by Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa – and the protocols and procedures attached to that setback and another injury suffered four days earlier – one of football’s brightest stars addressed the issue in maybe the same vein as you’d consider a sprained ankle.
