I have not heard anyone admit a mistake on that from anyone (specifically Joe, Zac, or any other coach) yet. They won't improve on their mistakes without admitting them first. Mistake being playing him while clearly injured (not just a bump or bruise).
Also, non contact injuries like that, the bengals are changing their turf next year. I don't know if his injury was on the same turf as the game field, but it has a higher rate of non contact injury.
Would burrow still be healthy if he had sat the first few games? His hand injury probably had nothing to do with his leg injury though. I don't think anyone predicted that unless they aren't telling us something (lol).
