Burrow out for rest of season. 

Now one said season is over.  You said maybe tank for draft.  Fans can say that.  Players and Coaches can't.  The games are scheduled, tickets sold, TV scheduled.   Teams that try to lose on purpose, should be penalized as hard as the 1919 Chicago White Sox.  Owners, Coaches, Players kicked out of the game forever for losing on purpose.  There is NO QUIT.  

Now Bengals might lose without Burrow, but everybody on the team needs to practice hard and play to win.  This losing for the draft is something that if NFL League Office ever could prove it, that team would get punished like the 1919 White Sox. Of course I don't think the Bengals owners, coaches and players are thinking of tanking for the draft, that is just nonsense fans think about.

Back to my original post. With Burrow out for season, Bengals do need these extra days off now to adjust and adapt. If Browning is the #1, then they need an active #2 and a practice squad #3 QB.
