Joe Burrow Injured in Strange Sequence: Doctor Reacts
Joe Burrow's injury during the NFL game between the Bengals and Ravens appeared to occur after a seemingly innocuous throw, causing him to collapse and grab his right wrist. Dr. Brian Sutterer reviews the footage, noting Burrow's visible pain and the abnormal position of his pinky finger. While no obvious contact during the throw is evident, there might be an issue with the tendons or nerves, particularly the ulnar nerve. Despite wearing an elbow pad, Burrow showed no significant swelling or immobilization, making the injury's specifics unclear. Dr. Sutterer suggests possibilities like tendon or ligament injuries and encourages viewers to consider the medical intricacies involved.
Joe Burrow Injury vs. Packers | NFL Week 5
They'll mark off the yardage here. They took a commercial break in the Bengals-Packers game. We're going to show you the play live again. Third and 12, Burrow sees the line to gain and gets high-lowed. He got chopped down underneath at first, flipping him in the air, and then a second player came down and looked like he hit him around the head, neck, shoulder area. The franchise QB is down and injured. Just extremely aggressive. The best thing, as I mentioned to Kenny on the break, is that his legs did come up under him. Watch his head; he hits his head on the turf as well. The good news is it looked a little more serious at first. There was Burrow about 60 seconds ago, talking to the medical professionals. They don't have his helmet with him on the sideline at the moment, but he's walking under his own power.
