Burrow said he felt a pop in his wrist on the TD pass but was in discomfort before that play. Burrow said on Friday he wore a compression sleeve on his wrist but was not injured until Thursday night.Burrow said he sees a lot of himself in backup Jake Browning. They are good friends, and Burrow spent part of his Friday afternoon watching film with Browning to help begin preparing him to start next week.
