Burrow (wrist/knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's home game against the Broncos, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Burrow was a limited participant in practice throughout the week due to a pair of injuries, but as expected, neither health concern will keep him from playing Saturday. If the Bengals' longshot bid for the postseason comes to an end in the aftermath of Week 17 action, Burrow could be a candidate to rest in Week 18, but fantasy managers can feel comfortable including the quarterback in their fantasy lineups, even in a matchup versus a tough Denver defense. Burrow has thrown for at least three touchdowns in seven straight games and is averaging 319.4 passing yards per contest during that stretch.

Burrow (wrist/knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's home game against the Broncos, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Burrow was a limited participant in practice throughout the week due to a pair of injuries, but as expected, neither health concern will keep him from playing Saturday. If the Bengals' longshot bid for the postseason comes to an end in the aftermath of Week 17 action, Burrow could be a candidate to rest in Week 18, but fantasy managers can feel comfortable including the quarterback in their fantasy lineups, even in a matchup versus a tough Denver defense. Burrow has thrown for at least three touchdowns in seven straight games and is averaging 319.4 passing yards per contest during that stretch.
Burrow (wrist/knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday. Burrow has logged five straight limited listings, but if he follows last week's practice pattern, he'll maintain that level of activity Thursday and approach Saturday's game against the Broncos without an injury designation. Wideout Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) has also been limited this week, but could be cleared for Week 17 action along with Burrow on Thursday.
Burrow (wrist/knee) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday. Burrow was limited in practices throughout last week with the same pair of injuries, but he avoided taking a designation into Sunday's game against the Browns and completed 23 of 30 pass attempts for 252 yards and three touchdowns in Cincinnati's 24-6 win. He's operating with a cap on his reps once again to kick off Week 17 prep, but his availability for Saturday's tilt with the Broncos doesn't appear to be in any peril.
Burrow completed 23 of 30 passes for 252 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 19 yards and lost a fumble. Burrow put together another one of his signature crisp passing performances, with the only true blemish on his day the fumble he committed on a sack at the Browns' 15-yard line with just over four and a half minutes remaining. Otherwise, Burrow was busy dissecting Cleveland's secondary on his way to his record seventh straight game with at least 250 passing yards and three touchdowns. The 2020 first overall pick hit Tee Higgins (two yards), Andrei Iosivas (six yards) and Ja'Marr Chase (32 yards) for his trio of scores Sunday, and he'll look to replicate the strong numbers versus a talented Broncos secondary at home in a Saturday afternoon Week 17 matchup.
Burrow (right wrist/knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns. Though Burrow was limited at practice this week, head coach Zac Taylor relayed that the QB's continued limitations Friday were precautionary, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer notes. Meanwhile, wideout Tee Higgins (knee) -- whose practice reps also were managed this week -- also is cleared for Week 16 action, with Taylor having noted Friday that there is no concern about the duo's workload versus Cleveland, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Burrow heads into the weekend leading the NFL in both passing yards (3,977) and passing TDs (36).
Burrow (right wrist/knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Burrow, who also was limited Wednesday, logged capped sessions last Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday and heading into Week 15 action without an injury designation. With no reported setbacks, it wouldn't surprise to see that pattern followed ahead of this Sunday's game against the Browns.
Burrow (wrist/knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Burrow was also limited to begin Week 15 prep while receiving maintenance for a sore knee and his surgically repaired right wrist. He ended up entering the weekend without a designation and threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-27 win over the Titans on Sunday, albeit with three turnovers (two interceptions, one lost fumble). Burrow should be fine to play again this Sunday against the Browns.
Burrow completed 26 of 37 passes for 271 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans. He also lost a fumble. Burrow's second pass of the game was picked off, but he bounced back with a six-yard touchdown pass to Chase Brown on Cincinnati's second drive. The star quarterback turned it over again on the following possession by losing a red-zone fumble before responding with another game-tying touchdown pass, this time to defensive end Sam Hubbard from two yards out. Burrow finally gave the Bengals their first lead with his third touchdown pass of the first half, finding Tee Higgins for a 38-yard score. Cincinnati ran only six offensive plays in the third quarter, the last of which was Burrow's second interception and third turnover of the afternoon. The Bengals forced six turnovers themselves, so the offense continued to throttle down in the fourth, which kept Burrow 29 yards short of a fifth consecutive 300-yard performance. Burrow will look to add to his league-leading 36 touchdown passes in Week 16 against a Browns defense that held him to 181 passing yards back in Week 7.
Burrow (right wrist/knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee. On Wednesday, coach Zac Taylor said Burrow was dealing with a sore knee, but the issue wouldn't hold him out of any practices, per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Burrow logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before capping Week 15 prep with full participation Friday, paving the way for him to continue to lead the Bengals offense. He'll be taking on a Titans defense Sunday that has allowed the third-fewest YPA (6.57) to opposing quarterbacks this season.
