Zac Taylor Announces Joe Burrow Season Ending Injury
Transcript
00:00 an acute injury yesterday, likely on the play before his last one, where he tore a ligament
00:07 in his wrist that will likely require surgery and require him to be out for the rest of
00:11 the season.
00:12 So we're still gathering more information on that, but that seems to be where it's headed
00:15 right now.
00:16 So that's the news.
00:17 And just talking to guys on the team, excited to rally around Jake.
00:22 And we've got a lot of great players on this team.
00:23 And so excited to see this team really band together for these last seven weeks and find
00:28 a way.
00:29 So we're excited for that opportunity, but obviously disappointed for Joe.
00:32 How did you draw from the conclusion that it was on that play before?
00:37 That's the best guess.
00:38 You just see how he landed.
00:39 Clowney kind of lands on top of him and the way that he caught his wrist.
00:44 For him to throw the way he did before that and then the next play not be able to really
00:47 grab the ball, that seems to make the most sense.
00:48 So it was an acute hit that was at a certain point?
00:49 Wrist.
00:50 Did you even see it in the moment when you called the next play like goal?
00:57 Yeah.
00:58 No, didn't.
00:59 And I don't even know that he, I can't answer for him, but obviously through it and you
01:04 can tell as he's kind of throwing it, he can feel it as he's throwing that ball and the
01:07 ball really dies on him.
01:08 Makes a good catch for touchdown.
01:09 Was that in conversations with him?
01:10 Did he say at all he heard in the Houston game and practice or anything like that?
01:15 No.
01:16 All recorded last night?
01:17 No.
01:18 Practiced fully all week.
01:19 Cooked great warmups.
01:20 And so no, everything was good.
01:21 I guess you're now waiting for basically another confirmation that it's?
01:26 Yeah, I think just talking to more, just making sure we got all the information before you
01:29 make that final decision on something, but appears to be the way it's trending.
01:33 You talked to Joe?
01:35 I did.
01:36 And his housey family?
01:37 Yeah, as well as you can.
01:39 Obviously very disappointed because he likes leading this team and knows the opportunities
01:44 that lie in front of us.
01:46 But again, he's responding in a positive manner.
01:48 You can only control what you can control.
01:50 And his next step for us is continue to lead this team just in a different way and assisting
01:54 Jake and trust that he'll be able to do that and help us be fine moving forward.
