Joe Burrow Won't Play Week 12

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) will not play vs. the Patriots on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Burrow was a full participant in Wednesday and Thursday's practices and seemed to be trending toward a return for this one. But he was limited on Friday, while QB Joe Flacco took the first-team reps. Assuming Burrow didn't suffer a setback, he should have a good chance to play vs. the Ravens on Thanksgiving night. We'll keep you updated on his status next week. Flacco gets another start tomorrow. He's played well since arriving in Cincinnati but is coming off his worst outing of the season last week and won't have WR Ja'Marr Chase against New England. That leaves him as just a QB2.
