Joe Burrow Dismisses Injury Concern Despite Back Tightness at Practice

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was limited in Wednesday's practice with back tightness, skipping team stretch and open throwing drills. Despite wearing a shoulder brace after taking hard hits in Week 1's win over Tampa Bay, Burrow called missing Sunday's game against Houston "ridiculous," stating he will play if he doesn't need surgery. Burrow completed 11 of 15 second-half passes for 121 yards last week and expects to be ready.
