CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Flacco will make one more start at quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals after Joe Burrow was not activated to the roster for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
Burrow was listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report after taking first-team snaps this week as he continues his comeback from a turf toe injury. The six-year veteran was downgraded to out on Saturday instead of being taken off injured reserve.
Cincinnati’s franchise quarterback suffered the injury to his left big toe during the first half of the Sept. 14 game against Jacksonville.
Assuming he has no major setbacks, Burrow is likely to start when the Bengals play at Baltimore on Thanksgiving night in a crucial AFC North matchup. Burrow indicated he was pointing toward that game during a media availability on Nov. 10.
With the short week, the Bengals are likely to have only walkthrough practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning Burrow needed to get 11-on-11 work this past week.
Flacco will make his sixth start for the Bengals (3-7), who have dropped seven of eight games.
