Bengals’ QB Joe Burrow is out for remainder of season after suffering wrist injury vs. Ravens

The Ravens may have ended the Bengals playoff chances and Joe Burrow’s season in the 38-20 beatdown that took place at M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday night.

Burrow exited the matchup in the second quarter after being unable to grip the football following a sack by Ravens pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney.

The play Burrow reportedly aggravated his wrist on.
