Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered yet another injury this season on Sunday Night Football. Television cameras caught the star quarterback with a bloody finger on his right (throwing) hand during the Bengals’ win over the Buffalo Bills.
The Bengals medical staff checked out the injury. Burrow was able to play the entire game, even with the injury. Burrow finished the game 31/44 passing for 348 yards and two touchdown passes.

This shouldn’t cause Burrow too many problems going forward. It’s always concerning when a quarterback suffers a hand injury. But this appears to be a minor injury.
Burrow already suffered a more severe injury in training camp. The Bengals started o-3 as Burrow played through a calf injury. He and the Bengals have been much better since Week 4 started. The Bengals have now won five of their last six games.
