Joe Burrow's injury adds to Bengals' quarterback woes

In the United States, on September 14, 2025, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow experienced a toe injury that led to his exit during the match against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The injury occurred during the second quarter of the game after Burrow was sacked by Jaguars' Arik Armstead. This forced Burrow to leave the field, with visible discomfort, requiring assistance to walk to the locker room. Prior to the injury, Burrow had completed 7 of 13 passes for 76 yards and connected with receiver Ja'Marr Chase for one touchdown. The Bengals' offensive line had struggled throughout the game, unable to contain the Jaguars' pass rush effectively, which contributed to Burrow's injury and overall team challenges. Following Burrow's exit, backup quarterback Jake Browning stepped in and managed to lead the Bengals to a dramatic comeback victory in the fourth quarter. Browning's performance was notable as he threw two touchdown passes and orchestrated a 92-yard drive, ultimately resulting in a 31-27 lead over the Jaguars with only 18 seconds left in the game. While the Bengals celebrated this victory, they now face uncertainty regarding Burrow's health as they prepare for the next game of the season. The team is not only hoping for Burrow's swift recovery but also relies on him as a cornerstone player, having been instrumental in the team's success since his draft in 2020.
