Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is questionable for Monday against the Rams with a calf injury.

The Bengals added some insurance Saturday just in case by signing AJ McCarron to their practice squad. Burrow re-aggravated his calf injury from training camp in the Week 2 loss to the Ravens. Burrow missed about a month before returning in time for the season opener. If Burrow can’t go, the Bengals would turn to Jake Browning under center. Certainly a far cry from a fantasy perspective from Burrow, especially against an improved and healthy Rams defense.

The Bengals are signing QB Reid Sinnett to the practice squad. If Joe Burrow can't play Monday night against the Rams, it'd be Sinnett backing up Jake Browning.

Not a good look for Burrow's availability, but it's worth mentioning that the team just lost QB Will Grier off their practice squad (Patriots) yesterday, so this may just be a coincidence.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor says QB Joe Burrow is "day to day." Says he doubts he'll have a full practice if he practices today. "Giving him time is best."

This is something we'll need to keep a close eye on, as the offense will be drastically different with Browning. The Bengals offense has been inept through two weeks and some of that blame could fall on Burrow's calf.

Indications are Joe Burrow has been feeling better the last two days than he was on Sunday. No injury report today because the Bengals play on Monday. The extra day will surely help.

Burrow reinjured his calf in Week 2 and reports say he's still sore as of Monday. The good news is, the Bengals play on Monday night, so there is potentially extra time for Burrow to get back on the field for Week 3. The bad news is it puts owners in a bind heading into the weekend not knowing his status. Browning would get the start if Burrow can't go. The Bengals do host the Rams so it's a potentially favorable matchup at least if owners are forced to start Browning. The Eagles and Bucs also play on Monday night, so it's possible QBs like Baker Mayfield and Matthew Stafford are still on your wire and could serve as last-minute backup plans if Burrow is a late scratch.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow said he tweaked his calf against the Ravens.

Burrow said he feels sore and they’ll wait and see how he feels in a few days. Head coach Zac Taylor did say if the Bengals had another possession that Burrow would have gone back on the field. So like Burrow, we’ll wait and see, but this is already the second calf issue Burrow has had this season going back to training camp and early in the preseason. For the second year in a row, the Bengals start 0-2 and are already behind the 8-ball in the division with losses to the Browns and Ravens.

Bengals’ HC Zac Taylor said Joe Burrow is expected to practice in full today. This puts him on track to start Sunday’s game vs. the Browns.

This is great news for all Cincinnati fantasy pieces, as well as Burrow himself. The QB doesn't often offer much rushing upside, so if he is limited mobility-wise it shouldn't make much of a difference. Burrow is a top-10 Week 1 option.

Ian Rapoport said all signs point to Bengals QB Joe Burrow playing Week 1.

Rapoport went on to say this has been heading in the right direction for a while, ever since Burrow returned to full padded practices a couple days ago. HC Zac Taylor said Burrow is officially considered day-to-day, according to Rapoport, but has looked "really, really good." Rapoport added it remains to be seen if Burrow has a new contract upon his return.

With Burrow back at practice and Jake Browning the only other quarterback on the active roster, this should be a good sign that the starting QB will be ready to go for Week 1. This is the first time Burrow has even thrown warmups in practice since July 27th. There should be no worries about taking him in redraft leagues as normal.

The Bengals have released QB Trevor Siemian.

Burrow is hopeful to be ready for Week 1, but perhaps owners in superflex dynasty leagues were rostering Siemian as an emergency replacement. Browning now looks to be the QB2 for the Bengals as we get closer to the start of the season.
