Joe Burrow gave Cincinnati Bengals fans a bit of a scare Wednesday when he was unable to fully participate in practice ahead of Week 2.

Burrow was dealing with some back tightness and did not throw during the portion of practice open to the media. The Bengals quarterback later addressed the situation and made it clear that he does not expect it to keep him out against the Houston Texans.

Burrow described the issue as normal post-game soreness, saying he felt the tightness after Sunday’s 33-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also said he couldn’t point to one specific play that caused it.

Most importantly, Burrow said he plans to play Sunday and pushed back on the idea that he could miss the game, calling that possibility “ridiculous.”

The Bengals may simply be taking it easy with their franchise quarterback early in the week. Burrow also acknowledged that he isn’t sure how much he’ll practice for the rest of the week, but said he can use mental reps to prepare for Houston if necessary.

Obviously, anytime Burrow has an injury-related update, Bengals fans are going to pay attention given his injury history.

But for now, there doesn’t appear to be much reason for panic.

Burrow expects to be under center when Cincinnati takes on the Texans in Week 2.
