Bengals cut Burrow after failed rehab, promote recent FA signing to starter

The former Heismen trophy winner and top pick of the 2020 NFL Draft Joe Burrow left last season early with a torn ACL. The Bengals were optimistic that his rehab would go well and that Burrow would start the 2021 season but that doesn’t seem to be the case. The recent signing of FA QB Riley Shea proved to be a step to move on from Burrow as Shea has now been named the teams starting QB.
