What is the story about?

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow became a minor injury talking point this week after taking it easy early in the Week 2 preparation process.

Burrow eventually ramped up to normal work by the end of the week and Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said he would be good to go for Week 2 against the Houston Texans.

Still, NFL rules required the Bengals to put Burrow on the injury report.
