Burrow was in the locker room after the game on crutches. The team was reportedly seeking a second opinion on the injury Sunday night.
The quarterback was sacked by Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead for a 5-yard loss at the Bengals 35-yard line with 9:02 left in the first half. He went to the sideline and into the medical tent after the play. He came out briefly with a limp and went to the locker room.
“It’s tough right now. We’re going to be OK. He’s a strong guy,” Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins said Sunday afternoon. “We look forward to seeing what the results are.”

TRUMP TAKES ISSUE WITH NFL’S ‘RIDICULOUS-LOOKING’ DYNAMIC KICKOFF
Jake Browning came into the game for Burrow and helped Cincinnati to their first 2-0 start since the 2018 season. Browning was 21-of-32 with 241 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions.
It’s the third time since Burrow entered the league that he will miss significant time with an injury. He was limited to 10 games in 2020 and 2023 because of it. He will likely play around the same number of games this season when it’s all said and done.
