In a setback for the Cincinnati Bengals, quarterback Joe Burrow experienced an apparent right wrist sprain during Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens. 

Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed the injury, stating that Burrow fell on his wrist early in the game and felt discomfort during a touchdown pass.

Video footage from the Prime Video broadcast before the game revealed Burrow wearing a brace on his right hand/wrist, although he was not listed on the Bengals' injury report this week.

Coach Taylor expressed unawareness of any previous wrist injury. Burrow left the Week 11 matchup in the second quarter after a 4-yard touchdown throw to Joe Mixon. 

Despite returning to the sideline in the second half, he sported a beanie instead of a helmet. The discomfort was evident as Burrow, after his touchdown pass, bent over and later attempted throws on the sideline before heading to the locker room.

Backup quarterback Jake Browning stepped in for Burrow, completing 8-of-14 passes for 68 yards with a touchdown. Prior to his departure, Burrow had 11 completions on 17 attempts for 101 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions.

This injury follows Burrow's previous calf strain earlier in the year, which impacted his preseason and early-season performance. The Bengals had been on a four-game winning streak before a Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans. 

Now, with the concern over Burrow's wrist, the team faces another challenge in maintaining their momentum.

Image
Photo: LeBron James (Instagram) In a recent episode of the "All the Smoke" podcast, former NBA player Mateen Cleaves shared how he came up with the nickname “Heaven Sent” for LeBron James . Cleaves explained that he thought of the name after watching LeBron play during his rookie season. When asked about LeBron's first year, Cleaves said, "It was different. I gave him the nickname Heaven Sent because he was so good right from the start. I thought, 'He can't be that good.' But then, practicing with him, I realized he was the real deal. He had an amazing feel for the game and could do anything he wanted on the court." Cleaves played in the NBA for six seasons, including one year with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he saw LeBron shine.

UK Government Helped Secure Police Escort For Taylor Swift After Her Mom's Worries

Image
Photo: Taylor Swift (Instagram) Taylor Swift ’s police escort during her concerts in London this summer was approved after the UK government got involved, according to a report by The Times of London . Swift performed at Wembley Stadium as part of her record-breaking "Eras Tour." It was revealed that UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and London Mayor Sadiq Khan pushed the police to provide extra protection for the singer, which was funded by taxpayers. Normally, such high-level security is only given to top government officials or the royal family.  Photo: Taylor Swift (Instagram) However, after Swift’s mother, Andrea, threatened to cancel her London shows, the government stepped in. Andrea was concerned after a suicide bomb plot caused the cancellation of Swift’s concert in Vienna. Reports suggest that cancelling the London shows would have been a big financial loss, as Swift’s tour reportedly boosted UK spending by nearly £1 billion. Read Next: Joker Sequel Drops $33M at Box

Darvin Ham Talks About Lakers Firing For The First Time

Image
Photo: Darvin Ham (Instagram) Darvin Ham , the former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, spoke out for the first time since being let go this summer. After two years leading the Lakers, Ham was fired despite having a 90-74 record and making the playoffs twice. Both of those playoff runs ended in losses to the Denver Nuggets, first in the Western Conference Finals, then in the first round. Ham's overall record wasn’t bad, especially for a first-time head coach. He won more games than he lost and came close to making the NBA Finals. However, he couldn’t fully get the players to follow his lead, which led to him being fired. Some also felt he wasted two great seasons from LeBron James and a healthy Anthony Davis . Now, Ham is back with the Milwaukee Bucks as an assistant coach under Doc Rivers . In his first public comments since being fired, Ham told ESPN he has no hard feelings toward the Lakers.
