Joe Burrow (back) is active for Cincinnati’s Week 2 game against the Texans. 2026-09-20 12:00:02 It never seemed like there was a real chance Burrow would miss this game, even after Josh Johnson was elevated from the practice squad yesterday. Burrow will be on the QB1 line against a Texans defense looking to rebound. Inactive for the Bengals are: Johnson, WR Ke’Shawn Williams, CB Josh Newton, C Connor Lew, OL Myles Hinton, DT B.J. Hill (Achilles), and DT Landon Robinson. |

The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports Joe Burrow (back) will play in Week 2 against the Texans. 2026-09-20 09:00:02 The Bengals called up Josh Johnson from the practice squad over the weekend, raising some eyebrows regarding Burrow’s health. The move, however, was purely a precaution. Burrow has already said he is playing this week. He remains near the top of the QB1 ranks despite a tough matchup with the Houston defense. |

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (back) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Texans. 2026-09-18 16:00:02 This listing is effectively a formality. Burrow laughed off the idea of missing the Bengals’ game against the Texans earlier this week, and today, coach Zac Taylor said Burrow is “good to go” after practicing in full. Burrow’s status is, of course, worth following, but we do expect him to play. Treat him as a QB1, per usual. |

Joe Burrow (back tightness) will play in Week 2 against the Texans. 2026-09-18 13:00:02 Burrow was upgraded to a full participant in Friday’s practice and is good to go for Sunday’s game, per head coach Zac Taylor. Burrow was limited in the first two practices of the week due to back tightness, but that was likely more out of precaution than it was due to anything serious. Burrow profiles as a high-end QB1 against the Texans. |

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Bengals expect Joe Burrow (back tightness) to play in Week 2 against the Texans. 2026-09-18 09:00:02 Burrow has been limited in each of the team’s first two practices, likely because the Bengals are exercising caution with their QB1. With one more practice to go before the Bengals release their final injury report, it sounds like there is no real concern about Burrow’s availability for Week 2 against a Texans defense looking to rebound from a tough season opener in which they allowed 36 points to the Bills. We will be sure to provide a final status for Burrow once the team announces it. |
