I thought it was Joe Burrow’s best day yet. Confident, scrambling at times, and making good intermediate throws for 1st downs. By my count, 10-for-15 in full team drills including a drive that ended with a short Joe Mixon TD run.

I also thought it was Ja’Marr Chase’s best practice so far with a TD in 7-on-7s.

It's good to see from the Bengals, as we've seen several reports this summer about their offense struggling. We also had a report about Chase on Monday that painted a picture of him struggling with separation and drops. So it's perhaps a turning point for the Bengals today.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow has been struggling to connect with receivers so far in camp, according to Jay Morrison and Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. "Throws that felt like layups last year are dropping harmlessly away from receivers or easily broken up by multiple defenders. There might be a multitude of reasons for the struggles, but this has been ugly.

Burrow also appeared to lift his left leg - the one that he had ACL and MCL surgery on - to keep it from getting hit during one play.

Morrison and Dehner speculate that Burrow may be thinking about getting hit, which is natural coming off major surgery but also a concern that could plague the second-year quarterback as he tries to get ready for the season.

Offensive continuity is more likely to improve as camp progresses, but Burrow's potential concerns with his left leg is a must-watch in the coming weeks.

The Bengals and doctors were encouraged by what they saw in the imaging of Joe Burrow's knee.

Garafolo said he was surprised by the reports Monday that Burrow's injury was worse than what was expected. Garafolo compared the Burrow injury to that of Carson Wentz. Wentz was injured in December of 2017 but came back after missing the first two games of 2018. As Garafolo said, yes, it's a multi-ligament injury, but the Bengals are optimistic about 2021 and beyond.

MRI revealed more damage than anticipated: Bengals’ QB Joe Burrow tore his ACL, MCL, and suffered other structural issues in his knee as well.

Schefter went on to say the types of knee injuries like Burrow suffered, usually sideline players anywhere from 9-12 months, though each person heals and rehabs differently. Unfortunately that now means no matter how quickly Burrow does or doesn’t recover, next year’s status is now in question. It's possible Burrow won't be ready to go in Week 1 of 2021.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow was carted off the field with a knee injury during Sunday’s game against the Washington Football Team.

The Bengals quickly ruled out their No. 1 overall pick as he was grabbing for knee in the ground. Ryan Finley has taken over at quarterback. We wish Burrow all the best and a speedy recovery.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow has established chemistry with WR Tyler Boyd, according to Mitch Stacy of the Associated Press. Stacy also mentioned the developing chemistry between Burrow and rookie WR Tee Higgins and the slow start for WR A.J. Green.

Burrow has looked like a rookie QB at times, but the connection he has with Tyler Boyd is impossible to miss. The two connected for 10 catches on 13 targets in Week 3, and Boyd has 18 catches over the past two games. Boyd is the WR1 in Cincinnati and will continue to be peppered with targets.

In all, the Bengals wheeled out seven plays with five receivers Sunday.

You know how many times they did this all last year? Zero.

You know how many times the rest of the league did this Sunday? One play by the Bills.

The concept became a staple of his record-breaking season at LSU as his new offensive coordinator Joe Brady shifted from traditional six- and seven-man protections to the five-man protections with everyone out in the route to spread the field. The story added the Bengals ran more plays in five receivers than every team except Pittsburgh has over the last two full seasons. The entire league only ran five wide receivers for 25 total plays last season. The Steelers (17) led the way, Jaguars (four) were next and no other team had more than one. HC Zac Taylor said he wants to get the above WRs on the field because he feels there is a lot of talent there. But it also means pulling guys like Joe Mixon off the field at the same time.

On Sunday, A.J. Green showed why the Bengals need him on the field and how instrumental he can be to rookie quarterback Joe Burrow's development. Green had five catches on nine targets for 51 yards in a 16-13 loss.

Those number led the team in all three of those receiving categories. It was his first game since Dec. 2 2018. Green also had an offensive pass interference that negated a TD catch he would have had to help lock up a Bengals victory.

Auden Tate started 10 games for Cincinnati last year and ranked second on the Bengals with 575 receiving yards. But in his first few practices with rookie quarterback Joe Burrow, Tate has looked ready for a bigger role at wide receiver.

In the Bengals first preseason scrimmage, Tate caught four of Burrow’s first six passes. On the last play of Burrow’s first drive, Tate used his wingspan to snag a touchdown reception. The story also pointed out that throughout training camp, Tate has been one of Burrow’s favorite receivers. While still at least behind Tyler Boyd and A.J. Green, and possibly John Ross, Tate is perhaps a guy to keep an eye for very late in drafts or once he hits the free agent wire.
