Burrow good to go, Stewart to debut for Bengals
Bengals QB Joe Burrow (back) was a full participant at Friday's practice and is set to start in Sunday's road affair against the Texans.
The Cincinnati Bengals are getting some much-needed reinforcements as they head into their Week 10 matchup against the Houston Texans. With Joe Burrow back at full strength and ready to start under center, the team is likely to regain some of its offensive potency. Burrow's presence will undoubtedly be a boost to the Bengals' chances, especially considering the Texans' vulnerability on defense.
Meanwhile, running back Chris Evans being placed on injured reserve earlier this week cleared the way for rookie running back Myles Stewart to make his NFL debut. Stewart, who was signed as an undrafted free agent, will look to make an impact in a Bengals backfield that has been without its workhorse running back, Joe Mixon, for several weeks. With Burrow back and Stewart getting his first taste of NFL action, Sunday's game against the Texans has the potential to be an exciting one for Bengals fans.
As the Bengals take on the Texans, all eyes will be on Burrow's performance and how he meshes with Stewart in the backfield. Will Burrow's return spark a Bengals offense that has been inconsistent at times this season? Can Stewart make a meaningful contribution in his debut? The answers to these questions will go a long way in determining the Bengals' prospects for the remainder of the season.
