If he's medically cleared, why hold him out?

Those are two awesome questions. First of all I’m not exactly sure what the Bengals’ definition of “medically cleared” is. My fear is being medically cleared and being 100% physically NFL-ready may not be the same thing. Maybe I have a lack of trust in the Cincinnati medical staff and the physical trainers and that is based on team history.

If Joe Burrow is medically cleared and 100% physically ready to play then sure, absolutely, he should play. However, if Joe is medically cleared but less than 100% able to perform he should probably not start yet.
