Joe Burrow has offered no public response to the recent dispute between Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and LSU over the reissuance of his number 5, per Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. The situation has drawn attention partly because LSU has maintained a policy of not reusing Burrow's number 9 since his departure.
Burrow's silence comes as the Bengals opened their preseason schedule Thursday night against Detroit. Joe Flacco threw a touchdown pass in relief of Burrow, and Evan McPherson kicked three field goals as Cincinnati won 16-14. The Lions also dealt with injury concerns during the game, though coach Dan Campbell indicated that cornerback Ennis Rakestraw appeared to have avoided a major injury after a second-quarter scare.
