Burrow looks to have suffered a knee injury in Week 17 against the Chiefs. He stated earlier in the week that he felt healthy enough to play but did not expect to.
Burrow has thrown for 4,611 yards, 34 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions this season.
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Bengals are a +205 on the Moneyline and a +6 on the spread against the Browns.
With Burrow out, Brandon Allen will start behind center for Cincinnati.
The Bengals sitting Burrow is not unexpected. Cincinnati wouldn’t risk losing their starting quarterback right before the postseason.
The Bengals will also be without Evan McPherson, D.J. Reader, Logan Wilson, Jalen Davis and Cam Sample. In addition, Joe Mixon will miss the game due to being on the COVID-19 list.
However, you can still bet on the Bengals’ Week 18 showdowns with the Browns over at FanDuel Sportsbook.
