Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that quarterback Joe Burrow is dealing with soreness ahead of Week 3 against Pittsburgh. Taylor did not specify Burrow’s Wednesday practice participation or say whether the soreness is related to the back issue he had last week.
Burrow had back tightness before Week 2, was limited in Cincinnati’s first two practices and then fully participated Friday. The Bengals listed him as questionable, but he started against Houston, completing 20 of 31 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns; he was sacked five times in the 20-6 win.
