Cincinnati, OH – In a bold move, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has announced that he’ll suit up for the team’s Week 18 matchup against the Steelers, despite nursing a wrist and knee injury. The 26-year-old signal-caller has been dealing with the injuries for several weeks, but he’s determined to lead his team into the playoffs.

“I’m feeling good, I’m feeling confident,” Burrow said in a press conference on Wednesday. “I’ve been working hard to rehab my wrist and knee, and I’m excited to get back out there and lead my team.”
Burrow’s injuries have been a major concern for the Bengals, who are fighting for a playoff spot. The team has struggled to find consistency on offense, and Burrow’s absence would be a significant blow.
