Joe Burrow’s NFL rookie season with the Cincinnati Bengals ended prematurely on Sunday.

The former LSU Heisman Trophy winning quarterback sustained a torn anterior cruciate left knee ligament in a 20-9 loss at Washington.

The injury happened with just under 12 minutes left in the third quarter.

Burrow dropped back to pass on third-and-2 play from his own 10-yard line. Just as he finished launching, a Washington defender fell into his leg. Burrow immediately grabbed for his left knee and appeared to be in severe pain. 

Burrow sent out a Tweet later Sunday afternoon suggesting he was done in 2020. “Thanks for all the love,” Burrow said. “Can’t get rid of me that easy. See ya next year.”

Before Sunday through his first nine games, Burrow threw for 300 or more yards a total of five times, which was tied for the second most in NFL history by a rookie. He also had been hit 72 times, which was tied with Daniel Jones for the most by a rookie quarterback in his first nine games over the past 20 years.
