Bengals' Joe Burrow: Cleared for Week 16

Burrow (right wrist/knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Though Burrow was limited at practice this week, head coach Zac Taylor relayed that the QB's continued limitations Friday were precautionary, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer notes. Meanwhile, wideout Tee Higgins (knee) -- whose practice reps also were managed this week -- also is cleared for Week 16 action, with Taylor having noted Friday that there is no concern about the duo's workload versus Cleveland, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Burrow heads into the weekend leading the NFL in both passing yards (3,977) and passing TDs (36).
