He's going to push to play if he can walk. They might need to save him from himself in this case.
I hate it as much as anyone, but it might be time to toss Browning to the wolves and see what he's capable of in an actual game. If he's as ineffective as many of us believe, then it's time to hit the waiver wire for a backup qb.
The staff came to the conclusion that he was the best option to back Burrow up, so they might as well mess around and find out.
You never know. If Jake looks like a guy that can scratch out a couple of victories in 4 weeks, then maybe you feel a bit more comfortable letting Burrow take some time to heal up.
The dreams of an AFC title game at Paycor are likely shot. We're not there, but we are nearing the point of hoping to sneak into the postseason. That dream is still alive if Browning can drive the car for just a little while.
If he can't, then they are looking at bringing in a veteran (another big gamble) or having 9 play through the injury, which doesn't exactly seem likely to work out in our favor.
