Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow has already grappled with two season-ending injuries in his young professional career. He tore his ACL and MCL during his rookie season, and tore a wrist ligament last year. In between, he even managed to suffer a burst appendix. The availability issues that have plagued his early career, he confesses, does get him thinking.
“Whenever the injuries start to stack up, your football mortality kind of comes into the back of your mind,”, Burrow said earlier this week as he works to return from the aforementioned wrist injury, via the team’s website.
