CINCINNATI (WXIX) – The NFL is investigating the Cincinnati Bengals to determine why Joe Burrow was not on the team\u2019s injury report before Thursday\u2019s game, according to ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The report <\/a>from the NFL insider said the league wants to know why Burrow wasn\u2019t on the injury report despite images showing him with a type of wrap on his wrist as the team got off the plane in Baltimore on Wednesday.
The Bengals later deleted the tweet with the image.
Head coach Zac Taylor said post-game that Burrow\u2019s wrist injury happened during the second quarter of the game against the Baltimore Ravens.
\u201cIt looked like he sprained his wrist,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cHe hurt it earlier in the game and he felt it on that touchdown pass.\u201d
Zac Taylor believes Burrow injured the wrist on the play before the touchdown pass when he was taken to the ground.
While Taylor said the injury happened during the game, those who saw the Bengals\u2019 since-deleted tweet have to wonder if the injury occurred before Burrow took the field for Thursday Night Football.
NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport says based on his sources, the wrap on Burrow\u2019s hand that was photographed ahead of the Ravens game is different from the injury he suffered during the game.
Zac Taylor believes Burrow injured the wrist on the play before the touchdown pass when he was taken to the ground.
If the NFL determines the Bengals violated injury reporting guidelines, Cincinnati will likely face a penalty.
\u201cThe NFL routinely looks into matters of compliance with the Injury Report policy and will do so in this instance as well. Teams can be fined or even potentially lose a draft pick,\u201d the ESPN reporter tweeted.

Former NFL head team doctor David Chao, who has 17 years of experience, said <\/a>the investigation begins with calls to doctors, ATC and the team with a review of medical records.
Further investigating will come if \u201csuspicions continue,\u201d he explained.<\/a>
The Pittsburgh Steelers violated the injury report policy in 2019 when they failed to accurately list quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on the injury report before a game. The league fined the Steelers $75,000 and head coach Mike Tomlin $25,000 for the violation.
