Joe Burrow is questionable for Bengals' game against Texans
Summary

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Burrow, who was limited in practice earlier in the week due to back tightness, returned as a full participant on Friday. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor mentioned that while Burrow felt good, the unpredictable nature of back injuries warranted the questionable designation. If Burrow cannot play, the team may elevate Josh Johnson from the practice squad as a precaution. Burrow expressed confidence in his ability to play, stating he would be on the field unless surgery was required.
