which preparation
Burrow says he wouldn’t have done anything differently in the September 14 game had he suffered the injury, playing a second and 20 minutes that ultimately resulted in a sack.
“The pocket starts to collapse, and you try to buy some time. And then I tried to free myself and my foot got caught in the ground. Unfortunate,” Burrows said.
He thinks he needs a full two weeks of practice more for his mind than for his body.
“We were going to push that timeline, and obviously we didn’t end up playing last week,” Burrow said. “But preparing all week like I was going to play was beneficial. To put myself in that mental state to get back into the swing of things, at times it’s an intense place to be. So I’m glad I had that week to realize that before Thursday.”
In fact, he felt soreness in his body last week, which was his first week of full practice with the team. Burrow went all out on Wednesday and Thursday, was limited on Friday, and said he felt ready to go against the Pats last Sunday until Taylor talked him out of it after talking Friday.
,I think it was a good decision,, Burrow said. ,
I was feeling good. Had practices on Wednesday and Thursday, I took a lot of reps. My body was hurting a lot. It doesn’t have to be my big toe. My toe feels great. The rest of my body has been out there for so long.
“I was confident I could get the right to play on Sunday. Zack thought it would be better to wait an additional four days.”

Chase joined the Sunday game watching faithful.
Chase said of the 26–20 loss to the Patriots, “I think I finally knew how the Cincinnati fans were feeling watching the game. It was nerve-wracking for me.” “Normally when I’m at a game, it’s not nerve-wracking, but it was for me to see that.” ,
Burrow is scoring 72 runsRa Start from Thursday. So, yes, he’s asking Joe Flacco about his 2019 start.
“I think anytime you have a player who’s played for that long, especially someone who plays very differently from you, you can ask him what he thought in a situation or what would be your reaction to this or that,” Burrow said. “He’s played a long time and played at a high level. That’s something I took advantage of.” ,
