This season, quarterback Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals has performed admirably. Burrow is playing at an MVP level, according to Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, even if the Bengals have a 4-7 record.
But at a press conference earlier this week, Burrow expressed some worries that might portend trouble for the Bengals. Burrow’s 2023 season was cut short by a wrist injury, and he has yet to participate in a game in frigid weather. On Sunday, Cincinnati’s temperature will be slightly above 30 degrees, although there will be some breeze from the Ohio River.
Regarding how his wrist will respond to the cold, Burrow stated that it is still unclear. I haven’t yet played a game with that in chilly weather. We’ll find out because chilly weather has affected my injuries in the past. On the sidelines, I might have a heater or something. We’ll see, but I haven’t given that much thought yet.
Burrow acknowledged that, from a sentimental perspective, his first practice in the cold this week could have gone more smoothly. Burrow may need to stay warm to ensure he is loose and ready to go at all times, but it is unclear how much his wrist will twitch throughout the Steelers game.
In any case, the Steelers cannot anticipate that Burrow will play any less than usual. His relationship with returnees Tee Higgins and Ja Marr Chase has stayed strong, making them one of the NFL’s top tandems. The Steelers will prepare as though they are up against that.
