The new NFL season couldn’t have started much worse for Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.
A disappointing home defeat to the previously unheralded New England Patriots meant the season began on an low note for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
But after the Week 1 loss, it wasn’t the result which was the main talking point. It was Burrow’s right wrist.
The quarterback missed the end of last season with a wrist injury to his throwing arm, requiring surgery and a spell on the sidelines.
