CINCINNATI — The NFL is investigating why Joe Burrow wasn't listed on the Bengals injury report leading up to Thursday's game against the Ravens according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Burrow was seen wearing a brace or device of some sort on his throwing hand when the team landed in Baltimore on Wednesday, despite not being on the injury report.

"It looks like he sprained his wrist. He fell on it early in the game and then felt it on the touchdown pass," head coach Zac Taylor said after the game.

Burrow left the game in the second quarter and didn't return.

"The NFL is investigating why the Bengals did not list QB Joe Burrow on their injury report when the team posted a picture of him wearing a device on his wrist Wednesday night," Schefter tweeted. "He appeared to be hampered by the injury early in the Thursday night game that he later left, the league confirmed today. The initial picture of Burrow wearing a device that looked like a soft cast on his thumb was posted by the Bengals, only to be deleted later. The NFL routinely looks into matters of compliance with the Injury Report policy, and will do so in this instance as well. Teams can be fined or even potentially lose a draft pick."

This is routine for the NFL and it happens regularly, but with a player of Burrow's stature, it's going to get more attention.
