Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is out for the year.
The Bengals announced on Friday that Burrow will miss the remainder of the season due to a wrist injury suffered on Thursday night in Baltimore.
Coach Zac Taylor made the disclosure at a press conference. He also said the wrist wrap Burrow was wearing while traveling on Wednesday is “completely unrelated” to the season-ending injury.
That’s what Taylor HAS to say, whether it’s true or not. And it does not explain the team’s decision to delete the post that showed video in a wrist wrap. If it’s nothing, why delete the video?
At a minimum, someone needs to explain, credibly, what the wrap was and why Burrow was wearing it.
The league has said it will be investigating the situation. The question continues to be whether the league is motivated to whitewash it, or to get to the truth. For reasons to be explained later, my money would be on the latter.
