CINCINNATI — Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was not able to provide an update about quarterback Joe Burrow after he left the Bengals-Jaguars game in the first half with a toe injury.

Taylor said he couldn't say anything about Burrow's injury yet, and the timetable for Burrow's return is unknown at this time.

Though Taylor didn't have any updates on Burrow's status, he called the rest of the team resilient in the 31-27 win over the Jaguars.

"There's not a second where anyone flinched," Taylor said.

Burrow was downgraded to out after he was initially questionable following a play where he sustained a left toe injury when he was sacked by Jaguars' defensive end Arik Armstead. It was the second time Burrow has been sacked in the game.

After he went down, Burrow immediately took his helmet off before trainers rushed out to him. It originally seemed as if they were tending to his left ankle, and broadcasters said his left ankle was taped up.

Burrow was able to gingerly walk off the field into the blue tent before backup Jake Browning entered the game.

After several minutes in the blue tent, Burrow was assisted off the field by two trainers and went into the locker room.

Prior to the injury, Burrow was 7-of-13 for 76 yards and a four-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase.

Burrow has dealt with several injuries throughout his career, including a torn wrist ligament, which ended his 2023 season early.

As a rookie, Burrow tore his ACL, MCL and PCL in his left knee during Week 11. He later dislocated his left pinky in 2021 and sprained his MCL during Super Bowl LVI. He also dealt with a calf strain during training camp in 2023.
