Joe Burrow thoughts from a hand surgeon

[Bengalholic]

Joe said the thing he was wearing was for compression, to prevent swelling. If I had to bet my house, I'd say the swelling concern came from him banging his hand pretty hard off a Texans player the week before. As he said, you deal with things every week in the NFL.

That's a separate issue from what happened in the Raven's game though. That was just an unfortunate freak injury.
