And so Joe Burrow will play in the final preseason game for the Cincinnati Bengals after all, after head coach Zac Taylor had said that he’d already “seen enough” from the second-year quarterback to be comfortable putting him on the field for the season opener.
“I think it’s just good to check that box”, Taylor said earlier this week about getting Burrow back in a game. “You go out there in a real game, you’re in there with the guys, and it’ll be very limited. We’ll be smart with what we do and get him out and then we’ll get ready for Minnesota”.
