Burrow, the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL draft, was 22-of-34 for 203 yards and one score on Sunday before leaving the game.

Entering Sunday, Burrow had thrown for 2,485 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also has 131 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. 

The Bengals entered Sunday's game 2-6-1, and in fourth place in the AFC North. 

Cincinnati led 9–7 at the time of Burrow's injury. Ryan Finley entered the game in Burrow's absence.

Washington came back to win, 20-9.
