Joe Burrow Expected to Start Against Texans Despite Back Soreness

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is expected to start against the Houston Texans despite dealing with back tightness and soreness that limited him earlier in the week. Head coach Zac Taylor expressed full confidence in him after a full practice on Friday. As a precaution, the Bengals elevated veteran Josh Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster as depth behind Burrow and Joe Flacco.
