Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters that Burrow was a full participant in Friday’s practice and added, “He feels good,” indicating the quarterback is medically cleared for the upcoming matchup.
Burrow has been dealing with a back issue this week; he warned on Wednesday that it would be “ridiculous” to miss the Week 2 game against Houston, though his practice load was limited on Wednesday and Thursday.
In the Bengals’ previous game, a 24‑17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Burrow completed 25 of 35 passes for 254 yards, throwing one touchdown and one interception, and added 20 rushing yards on five carries.
Cincinnati’s final injury report for the week, which will list the status of all players, is slated for release later on Friday.
