  "account": "Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is dealing with back tightness and has been a limited participant in practice on Sept. 16. Despite this, he insists he will play against the Houston Texans on Sept. 20, emphasizing that every game is important to him. Burrow didn't participate in the team stretch during practice but did get ample mental reps. He addressed his injury after practice, stating that he feels good and expects to be fully recovered. Burrow rules out the possibility of sitting out due to precautionary measures, emphasizing his commitment to the game. He hasn't confirmed whether he will practice before the Texans game, with his practice availability dependent on his daily condition. The Bengals will release an injury report each day following practice, with a final report scheduled for Sept. 18. If Burrow is not listed with any game status on the final report, it will confirm his availability for the Texans game. The Bengals have until 11:30 a.m. ET on Sept. 20 to decide whether to activate or inactive Burrow, with the NFL requiring teams to submit their inactive lists 90 minutes before kickoff. The Texans boast one of the NFL's best defenses, ranking seventh in sacks with 47, and all three of their primary edge rushers will return for another season.",
