Rookie quarterback Joe Burrow was carted off the field with a left leg injury in the Cincinnati Bengals’ game against the Washington Football Team on Sunday afternoon.

Early in the third quarter, Burrow was drilled high by Washington defensive end Montez Sweat and hit low by defensive lineman Jonathan Allen while throwing a pass, and his leg bent awkwardly.

Burrow was unable to put any pressure on his leg, which led to him being helped by a cart.
