Joe Burrow injury could have surprising ripple effects on 49ers and NFC West

San Francisco 49ers fans are all too familiar with the hard reality the Cincinnati Bengals are facing after just two weeks: losing a starting quarterback to a serious injury that'll keep him out for an extensive period of time.

In 2020, the Niners lost then-starter Jimmy Garoppolo (more on him in a second) to a torn ACL, while head coach Kyle Shanahan is currently dealing with Brock Purdy being out on a week-to-week basis because of a turf-toe injury.

As for Cincy, the latest news surrounding it's star quarterback, Joe Burrow, is devastating.
