Joe Burrow Explains Back Issue Ahead of Bengals vs. Texans Week 2 Matchup

Joe Burrow said the tightness should not affect him much as Cincinnati prepares for Sunday after he was limited in Wednesday practice.

  • On Wednesday, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow participated minimally in practice due to "back tightness" following the team's 33-27 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 13, 2026.
  • After absorbing multiple hard hits during the Week 1 game, Burrow experienced the discomfort, including a blow from Buccaneers linebacker Alex Anzalone that left him on the ground.
  • Despite the physical toll, the quarterback finished 25-of-35 passing for 254 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while rushing five times for 20 yards.
  • Addressing his status for Sunday, Burrow dismissed concerns about missing the matchup, stating, "If I'm not getting surgery, I'm going to be out there," against Houston.
  • Head Coach Zac Taylor noted the Bengals have "plenty of room for improvement" despite the 1-0 start, emphasizing better execution ahead of the Texans matchup.
