CINCINNATI -- Joe Burrow wanted to play in the preseason finale Thursday night. But coach Zac Taylor said that after what Burrow did earlier in the week, there was no need for Cincinnati's star quarterback to suit up before Week 1.

Burrow and all of Cincinnati's projected starters watched from the sideline in the team's 27-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Taylor said the way Burrow looked in the joint practice against the Colts on Tuesday was more than satisfactory.

"I thought that kind of put the nail on the coffin of training camp," Taylor said Thursday.
