Burrow completed 37 of 46 passes for 277 yards with one touchdown and one interception and rushed once for minus-1 yard in the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday night. He also fumbled once but possession remained with Cincinnati. Burrow fought through a typical AFC North slugfest against the aggressive Steelers defense, which sacked him four times. One of those takedowns in the third quarter caused Burrow's helmet to be driven into the ground and led to a concussion check, but the star signal-caller did not miss any time. Burrow connected with eight different pass catchers overall on the night, and although he saw an eight-game streak of multiple touchdown passes snapped, he kept the Bengals' slim playoff hopes, which now hinge on a loss by the Broncos and a loss or tie by the Dolphins on Sunday, alive. Burrow finishes the 2024 regular season with a career-high 4,918 passing yards and 43 passing touchdowns across 17 regular-season games.

Burrow (wrist/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Steelers. Burrow was listed as a limited participant in both of the Bengals' first two Week 18 practices due to the pair of injuries, but he erased any lingering concern about his availability for Saturday by turning in a full session Thursday. His practice participation was inhibited by the same two injuries in each of the previous three weeks, but Burrow's production wasn't affected at all, as he tossed nine touchdowns against two interceptions while adding another score on the ground and averaging 311.7 passing yards per contest during that stretch. Fantasy managers in leagues that are still active in Week 18 can feel fully comfortable with keeping Burrow in lineups.
Burrow (right wrist/knee) was limited at practice Wednesday. Burrow was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through, and with a limited session Wednesday in the books, the QB will have one more chance to practice fully ahead of Saturday night's game against the Steelers. Given that the 8-8 Bengals remain in playoff contention, there's little reason to believe that Burrow is in any danger of being sidelined in Week 18.
Burrow (wrist/knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through session, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports. For the fourth week in a row, Burrow is appearing on Cincinnati's injury report with both right wrist and knee issues next to his name, but neither injury is expected to keep him from playing in Saturday's game in Pittsburgh. In the Bengals' previous matchup with the Steelers back in Week 13, Burrow completed 28 of 38 pass attempts for 309 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while carrying twice for nine yards and losing two fumbles in a 44-38 loss.
Burrow completed 39 of 49 passes for 412 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in Saturday's 30-24 overtime win against the Broncos. He added four rushes for 25 yards and an additional score. Burrow had no trouble moving the Bengals' offense at any point in the game, though it took some time for the unit to find the end zone. He ultimately accounted for all four of Cincinnati's touchdowns, with passing scores of two, 12 and three yards as well as a one-yard sneak late in the fourth quarter. Burrow now has at least three passing touchdowns in eight straight games and has topped 350 passing yards four times in that span. With the thrilling overtime win, Cincinnati's playoff hopes remain alive as Burrow leads the team into a Week 18 showdown with the Steelers.
Burrow (wrist/knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's home game against the Broncos, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Burrow was a limited participant in practice throughout the week due to a pair of injuries, but as expected, neither health concern will keep him from playing Saturday. If the Bengals' longshot bid for the postseason comes to an end in the aftermath of Week 17 action, Burrow could be a candidate to rest in Week 18, but fantasy managers can feel comfortable including the quarterback in their fantasy lineups, even in a matchup versus a tough Denver defense. Burrow has thrown for at least three touchdowns in seven straight games and is averaging 319.4 passing yards per contest during that stretch.
Burrow (wrist/knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday. Burrow has logged five straight limited listings, but if he follows last week's practice pattern, he'll maintain that level of activity Thursday and approach Saturday's game against the Broncos without an injury designation. Wideout Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) has also been limited this week, but could be cleared for Week 17 action along with Burrow on Thursday.
Burrow (wrist/knee) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday. Burrow was limited in practices throughout last week with the same pair of injuries, but he avoided taking a designation into Sunday's game against the Browns and completed 23 of 30 pass attempts for 252 yards and three touchdowns in Cincinnati's 24-6 win. He's operating with a cap on his reps once again to kick off Week 17 prep, but his availability for Saturday's tilt with the Broncos doesn't appear to be in any peril.
Burrow completed 23 of 30 passes for 252 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 19 yards and lost a fumble. Burrow put together another one of his signature crisp passing performances, with the only true blemish on his day the fumble he committed on a sack at the Browns' 15-yard line with just over four and a half minutes remaining. Otherwise, Burrow was busy dissecting Cleveland's secondary on his way to his record seventh straight game with at least 250 passing yards and three touchdowns. The 2020 first overall pick hit Tee Higgins (two yards), Andrei Iosivas (six yards) and Ja'Marr Chase (32 yards) for his trio of scores Sunday, and he'll look to replicate the strong numbers versus a talented Broncos secondary at home in a Saturday afternoon Week 17 matchup.
