Joe Burrow questionable; Bryce Young, Austin Ekeler, OBJ, Ravens starters out

Week 3 of the NFL kicked off with the San Francisco 49ers notching a decisive win over the New York Giants on “Thursday Night Football.” 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder injury) and Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) were ruled out prior to that game.

As the week continues, the Cincinnati Bengals are preparing to play the Los Angeles Rams without their star quarterback on Monday. Joe Burrow was seen at practice before the team listed him as questionable Saturday. The 26-year-old sustained a calf strain during training camp and returned to practice a month later. But a less-than recovered version of the 2020 No. 1 pick was seen on the field en route to the Bengals’ 0-2 start.

If Burrow can’t play, the Bengals signed QB Reid Sinnett to the practice squad on Friday to back up Jake Browning. The team also signed quarterback A.J. McCarron, who played for Cincinnati from 2014-2017, on Saturday.
