Bengals elevate Josh Johnson to active roster with Joe Burrow questionable
Burrow is questionable for Sunday's game at Houston but says he intends to play, and the Bengals brought Josh Johnson onto the active roster as insurance, per ProFootballTalk.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow says he plans to play tomorrow against the Texans.
Sharp take
Sharp SixHoldBurrow saying he plans to play is not a medical clearance, it's a press soundbite. He's rostered everywhere and there's nothing to do but watch the inactive list Sunday morning. Johnson is only relevant if you enjoy zero-point flyers; he's unrosterable in any format that matters. Hold Burrow, ignore Johnson, check the inactives before kickoff.
