In an interview with FOX 19’s Jeremy Rauch, Cincinnati Bengals guard Dalton Risner acknowledged his role in quarterback Joe Burrow’s turf toe injury during the second quarter of last season’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burrow had to sit out for three months due to the injury, which led to the Bengals finishing with a 6-11 record and missing the playoffs for the third consecutive year.
However, Risner, who was in his first season with the team, expressed no regret and stated that he "took it on the chest" and moved forward. Now, in his second season with the Bengals, Risner is feeling great and ready for redemption. He signed a lucrative one-year, $3.25 million contract extension in March and is eager to have a "helluva year" and help the Bengals win a Super Bowl in 2026.
The 31-year-old veteran understands the importance of the offensive line in protecting Burrow and improving the team's performance. Along with guards Dylan Fairchild, offensive tackles Orlando Brown Jr. and Amarius Mims, and center Ted Karras, Risner will play a crucial role in helping the Bengals become a legitimate contender in the AFC. The Bengals will kick off their 2026 season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1.
