Jake Browning replaced Burrow with the Bengals trailing Jacksonville 14-7.

When did Joe Burrow get injured?

The injury occurred on a second-and-20 play when Burrow was sacked by Jaguars defensive lineman Arik Armstead. He stayed on the ground as trainers rushed over, then limped off the field and went into the medical tent before being escorted to the locker room. Burrow had gone 8-of-14 passing for 83 yards and a touchdown.

Bengals fans were frustrated after Burrow's injury. “Joe Burrow can’t even walk, he needs to people by his side just to get to the locker room 💔Yeah, this is a horrible sign for Bengals fans, this isn’t good at all,” one person wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Can the #Bengals not afford a medical cart?? They’re making Joe Burrow walk to the lockeroom and he can’t even walk, he’s limping. Poverty franchise 🤦🏼‍♂️” another fan tweeted.
