CINCINNATI — For the primary time this season, Bengals QB Joe Burrow is nominated for FedEx Air Participant of the Week.

The stats are his better of the season, and earned him a nomination for the FedEx Air Participant of the Week alongside the 49ers’ Brock Purdy and Bears QB Justin Fields. Purdy threw for 252 yards and 4 touchdowns, whereas Fields additionally completed with 4 touchdowns and 282 passing yards.
Whereas he clearly wasn’t pretty much as good of a rusher as FedEx Floor Participant of Week nominees Breece Corridor, Zack Moss and De’Von Achane, Burrow had a 10-yard scramble Sunday that confirmed extra mobility than he is had in earlier weeks.
Burrow strained a calf muscle early in coaching camp and appeared to worsen it in Week 2. Whereas he threw for greater than 250 yards in Cincinnati’s solely different win of the season (a Monday evening showdown with the Rams), Burrow acknowledged that the calf harm had been impacting his type of play.
The 26-year-old stated final week he hasn’t had any setbacks, so hopefully, this would possibly not be the final time he is nominated for the weekly award.
