NFL News: Browns Activate Judkins, Bengals Lose Burrow, and More Injury Updates

The NFL season is only two weeks old, but the landscape is already shifting dramatically due to injuries and roster moves. From significant quarterback changes to key players being activated for their debuts, here's a look at the latest news from around the league.

The Burrow Injury Aftermath in Cincinnati

The biggest news of the day comes from Cincinnati, where the Bengals are grappling with a major setback. After suffering a toe injury, franchise quarterback Joe Burrow has been placed on injured reserve. Reports indicate he is expected to miss at least three months, a devastating blow to the 2-0 team. In response, the Bengals have made several moves to shore up their quarterback room, promoting Brett Rypien from the practice squad to the active roster. They also signed Sean Clifford and Mike White to the practice squad, providing much-needed depth as they navigate the season without their star signal-caller.

Roster Moves and Returns

While one team loses its key player, others are getting a boost. The Cleveland Browns have officially activated rookie running back Quinshon Judkins, clearing the way for his highly anticipated NFL debut against the Ravens. This move comes after the Browns struggled to establish a running game in their Week 1 loss.

Elsewhere, the Minnesota Vikings will be without running back Aaron Jones for at least four games, as he has been placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. In a corresponding move, the Vikings signed quarterback Desmond Ridder to their 53-man roster and brought in running back Cam Akers for the practice squad.

Injury Updates Across the League

Teams are also dealing with a rash of injuries heading into Week 3, with some key players questionable or out for their matchups.

• Buffalo Bills: Quarterback Josh Allen is expected to wear a clear visor to protect his nose. Linebacker Ed Oliver and Matt Milano both missed Tuesday's practice.

• Houston Texans: The receiving corps is set to get a boost as both Braxton Berrios and Christian Kirk are expected to return from hamstring injuries this week.

• Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The offensive line has been hit hard. Left tackle Tristan Wirfs is progressing in his recovery from a knee injury, but right tackle Luke Goedeke is awaiting an MRI on a foot injury. Most critically, defensive tackle Calijah Kancey is out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle.

As the season progresses, these roster adjustments and injury developments will play a crucial role in shaping the playoff picture.
