Cincinnati Bengals Changing Approach With Joe Burrow During Recovery From Wrist Surgery?

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow didn't practice on Tuesday and even though he was spotted on the practice field on Wednesday, there's growing speculation that he didn't throw.
James Rapien explains what it could mean, why head coach Zac Taylor's comments after Tuesday's session are relevant and why the Bengals could be changing their approach as Burrow enters his fifth season in the NFL.

Yeah I hope Joe burrow stays healthy though out the season

According to the bridge crew he didnt throw today

Who Dey 🤘🤘🤘

[@jamesr5199]

I have been thinking exactly this type of protection for Burrow since early on. They also should place closer attention to his gym workouts too. Maybe they do now after the calf injury last year. IMO that calf injury may have been a result of strenuous gym workouts.

WHO DEY!?! Grace love peace mercy

[@herbirwin4664]

What does this really mean? Joe will be ready to play week one at the best of health.

[@AndrewFoxMiller]

You commented with this in less than the video's actual runtime. He talks about it in the video lol

[@mattmiller1223]

I hope Zack can keep joe ready but healthy before regular season games begins. I think that's not easy with burrow.

[@ajm82]

Been talking and hearing about Burrows injuries since he got drafted.. i think the league analyst are starting to look the other way.. even big fan Colin Cowherd takes a long pause before and after he mentions his name. Not that their opinions matter but I kind of feel the say way and i can't blame some of our fellow bengals fans that share that feeling

[@charlesh1735]

Joe will be ready to go week 1. We have to start seeing wins in week 1-3. Not starting the season 0-3 or 1-2. Those games early in the season has cost us home playoff games.

I hope you're right! And I think you are - great observation. My wife and I are fans - we hope you don't get scooped up by somebody where you'd be a small fish in a big pond! With patience, CBT will pass up DRP (Dan, Rich, Pat) in this market! That would be a scoop (sorry)

[@Sans_Solo_]

He should not play preseasons games this year - that's the smart way....plenty of drills and practice tho. Also more weight training for Joe.

[@creutzml]

I disagree. Need at least one quarter . We have yet another new addition to the o line, and I’m tired of seeing the slow starts to the season

[@gothard5]

I had a dream that Burrow suffered a bad knee injury real early in the regular season. It was against the Lions and the Bengals thankfully do not play the Lions this upcoming season.

[@BengalsTalk]

What nightmares are made of. Sheesh

[@HighWarlordJC]

Joe's like a cat that pretends it's not hurt. Only for you to find out at the vet that they broke their leg or something three weeks ago and that's why they don't jump up on furniture anymore.

Minor nitpick: the outro music sounds like it’s being covered by a pillow, muffled. Aside from that, thanks for the great content!

[@BengalsTalk]

Yea, I compressed it and gave it that "locked in a trunk" sound just to not have the music be too abrupt for the end screen. It was by choice 🤷‍♂️ -Andrew

The White Tigers must be careful with the Franchise, he ljves, we win the Super Bowl, he gets hurt (again), the Bengals will be dead to us again.

[@duanewright1412]

Most teams live and die with their starting QB. I've been a fan through and through since 1978. I can't agree with the dead to us reference. CHEERS GO BENGALS!!!!!

[@ericellis7556]

Keep Joey B! Protected is all that matters!!! Who Dey! All Dey! Every Dey! Sooooooo sick of saying "maybe next year we'll win it all." We got this! Lets go boys! WIN IT ALL!!!

[@getbrainseeds]

@@duanewright1412 i second this, i don't think a real fan would ever say "be dead to us"

​​​@@duanewright1412fan since i was 8yrs old in 1989...i agree w you Duane...can't back out if our QB gets hurt...but he wont! He has the Cincy Skyline O-LINE protecting him! We got this!!! Who Dey 4 life! No matter what!

[@fwpjr1983]

Dead to who exactly? Bandwagon fans? Because I’ve been a fan since 1988 and with or without Burrow I will still be a fan like I always have, but the Bengals definitely need Burrow to be healthy now and the rest of his contract to win.

[@Cincytiger35]

He was at a wedding last weekend where everyone got the flu. Probably the actual cause

[@johnnyarellano-om1kj]

It's becoming a bit of recycled news on the Burrow wrist situation and limiting or monitoring his progression. So, Taylor and Burrow have been on record about how they are approaching things differently this off-season. During OTAs, they made a situation out of JB not practicing, stating they dont want to overwork him. Now this video is out, and the idea of Bengals "could be changing their approach," which I thought was already a given seems to be expanding on this same idea just in different videos. So are they changing their approach or not? Why make a video about learning from their mistakes and monitoring Burrow better if they haven't "changed their approach?" It just seems the news is becoming repetitive or recycled in different ways.

[@ronskullie9380]

Mahomes playing on one through out the playoffs and Superbow,and average joe is the toughest 😳.

[@JamesSmith-jv4go]

Stop capping burrows not that dude he's Andy Dalton 2.0

[@fwpjr1983]

Haha, what? Andy was good but Burrow has already accomplished more than Andy ever did and more. Burrow could retire today and he’s already had the better career as a Bengal.

[@Coleman.1957]

Stop running QB sneak on 2nd and 1 and getting your hand stepped on to SHOW yer tough. Mahomes don’t run no QB sneaks! Why ? Because you need him for bigger and better things… grow up… you are not paid for dumb risks to show toughness… be smart… change your high school attitude Joe

that’s a fact. franchises are buying their rings now

Yeah, spending half a billion (not including Burrow) isn't spending enough.....so dumb...tired of non-Bengals not knowing what they're talking about...

[@jd8606]

They just made jb the highest paid qb in the league. What are you smoking? Tee had 600 yds last season. Not worth a max contract. Need to ship it and clip it. Jermaine Burton will easily replace anyways

[@pRODIGAL_sKEPTIC]

Not on 2 receivers for 30 mil apiece they won't. Nor should they. & who have they let go this year over money? Nobody. Tee will play
