Joe Burrow injury status: Bengals QB shaken up after hard hit against Steelers
Bengals QB Joe Burrow headed to the medical tent after a big hit against the Steelers
Game update: Joe Burrow returned to the field for the Cincinnati Bengals’ next possession:
The Cincinnati Bengals are fighting for their playoff lives in their season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With a win over Pittsburgh — and some help Sunday in the form of losses from the Miami Dolphins and the Denver Broncos — the Bengals will clinch the final playoff spot in the AFC with a 9-7 record.
But at the moment the Bengals have a bigger concern: The status of quarterback Joe Burrow.
Burrow was shaken up after he was driven into the turf on a sack early in the second half, while the Bengals were deep in Pittsburgh territory. The Bengals quarterback stayed down on the turf for an extended period, before heading straight into the blue medical tent.

Burrow eventually walked off the field under his own power, shaking his neck, before heading into the tent.
