**Cincinnati, OH** – Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow addressed speculation surrounding his surgically repaired wrist, assuring fans it’s not hindering his ability to throw.

Burrow, who suffered a torn ligament in his right wrist last November, had a less-than-stellar performance in the Bengals’ Week 1 loss to the New England Patriots. Videos circulated online showing him flexing and rubbing his wrist during the game, fueling concerns about the injury’s impact.

“It feels great, feels better this week than it did last week,” Burrow said at Wednesday’s press conference. “It’s continuing to do better.”

He dismissed concerns about footage of him seemingly struggling to pick up a water bottle on the sideline, saying it was simply a “weird” way of grabbing the bottle. As for the constant manipulation of his wrist, Burrow explained that’s standard procedure for ligament injuries. “If you don’t move it, you’re going to lose it,” he said.

Burrow remains listed on the Bengals’ Week 2 injury report, but he participated fully in Wednesday’s practice. The Bengals face a tough opponent in the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.

Despite the concerns, Burrow’s confidence in his recovery is reassuring for Bengals fans. While the Week 1 performance wasn’t ideal, Burrow remains a key component to the Bengals’ success this season, and his reassurance that his wrist is improving is a positive sign for the team.
