Bengals Make QB Move Before Texans Game Amid Joe Burrow Injury Concern
The Cincinnati Bengals added a quarterback to their active roster for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans in Week 2.
In a move to address concerns over quarterback Joe Burrow's health for an upcoming game against the Houston Texans, the Cincinnati Bengals elevated Josh Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. Burrow, who is listed as questionable to play due to back tightness sustained during Week 1's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, expressed frustration with the injury, stating that he felt it was "ridiculous" he might miss the Texans game.
Despite his optimism, Burrow emphasized his determination to play, noting that the soreness was typical for a game day injury. The Bengals' roster now includes Burrow, Johnson, and Joe Flacco as the 53-man players. The Texans' defense, which allowed 36 points in a recent loss to the Buffalo Bills, will pose a significant challenge for the Bengals on Sunday.
