Loveland, Ohio – Geoff Hobson the Senior Writer for Bengals.com reported yesterday, “Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said after Friday’s practice that they’ll be without quarterback Joe Burrow for several weeks and wouldn’t say what that means for the Sept. 10 opener in Cleveland.”
Chris Roling in the Bengals Wire wrote yesterday, “In the wake of the injury to quarterback Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor had confirmed the team will add another quarterback to take training camp and preseason reps with Trevor Siemian and Jake Browning.
“Not too long after that revelation, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Bengals hosted quarterbacks Reid Sinnett and Drew Plitt on workouts.
“Plitt is the name Bengals fans will recognize. A Loveland High School product, Plitt was with the team last summer before going on to find success in the XFL.”
Plitt has previous experience playing in the pre-season opener for the Bengals. Loveland Magazine reported in August, 2022, “The only thing that stopped six-for-six Bengal rookie Drew Plitt Friday night at the 2022 pre-season opener in the newly renamed Paycor Stadium was when he found the endzone via a 25 yd. floater to wide-receiver Kendric Pryor. Plitt threw for 77 yds with a perfect rating of 158.33. Plitt completed the Bengals’ first touchdown in Paycor Stadium history.” (Only one thing stopped six-for-six Bengal rookie Drew Plitt Friday…)
