After a wrist injury limited him to just 10 games during the 2023 season, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow decided to add some muscle over the offseason in an attempt to avoid injuries.

"I wanted to get bigger, try something new," Burrow said, per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. "I hadn't been healthy for a couple years. I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm feeling pretty good right now, so I'm going to keep that the way it is right now. If my legs start to feel heavy, I might lose a couple pounds.
