The Cincinnati Bengals have been one of the best teams in the AFC during the last few years. That’s why, just a few weeks before the start of a new season, they’re the biggest threat to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

However, those championship hopes might take a big hit after Joe Burrow suffered an injury during training camp. Though there’s still not a specific timetable for his comeback, it will take many weeks.

That’s why the Bengals are already thinking of a backup plan for the quarterback position. If Joe Burrow isn’t ready for the opener on September 10 against the Cleveland Browns, a new name might fight for the job.

Bengals sign surprising quarterback Joe Burrow

Zac Taylor confirmed Joe Burrow suffered a right calf strain at training camp and when asked about how long the quarterback would be out, the head coach didn’t give a very promising answer.

“I’ll start with Joe. Calf strain. It will take several weeks and that’s the information we have right now.” However, the reporters insisted if there was a possible timetable. “Several weeks is several weeks.”

As a consequence, the Bengals officially announced they’d signed free agent Reid Sinnett. Just a few months ago, he was the quarterback of the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL. His season ended because of a broken foot.
