[Tony]

Burrow is on a conference now and said he doesn't expect to play...

Good. The risk outweighs the potential benefit.

Also, if I'm the team I'm testing him every single day. That way, I don't miss a beat if/when he tests positive.

Woo-hoo! Glad to hear.

He said the knee is fine but sore and he could play if needed. It will be up to Zac to decide if he will dress as the back up or not

Testing won't matter 1 bit if he gets it. What's it gonna help? If you got it , you got it. He only has to test if symptoms.. I'm not sure with the close contact, being he was handing the ball to Mixon... I found it odd that Burrow was on the sideline sitting next to Allen and Allen was masked up. Why even take the chance?

Watch Allen go off and break the 525 with backups lol...

I figure he'd have to get a close contact test now, right?  There are literally videos of him hugging Mixon who just tested positive.  Or does testing simply not come into play at all unless the person displays symptoms or self reports?

Shit's confusing.  At some point, there's clearly been an outbreak within the locker room and if nothing else players should be tested to get them quarantined and away from healthy players ASAP.

He added that he is staying away from people and wearing a mask when he is out. There is a part of me that thinks the team should check into a hotel and build a bubble until they go to LA in Feburary

1 would think that is close contact, I'm not sure??

Maybe just keep them home this week? Let the backups get all the reps. It still hurts, how much practice are they gonna miss?

Let's just hope this is the end of the breakout. I hear it takes a week to incubate.. This is downright frightening for the Bengals at this point...

Media confirming and I support the Bengals decision. Let's do this Allen, bring home the W.

Joe Burrow says he doesn’t expect to play on Sunday against the #Browns

TV ratings will be lower than CNN.

[basballguy]

I'm following suit and will also be resting on Sunday

[TecmoBengals]

Not about players resting, but Burrow related:

Yes, Joe Burrow is aware of the #Bengals playoff drought.

“I grew up in Ohio.”

I am not sure of NFL rules but i the service business close contact is defined as less than 6 feet for 15 minutes indoors

I'll be in the GameDay thread.  That's a workout.

mental gymnastics is quite more exhausting than any physical activity.

Hard to get excited for this one.. I hope they at least get Jamaar that Last record and sit him.. Really no point of any of the starters playing with Burrow out.
