Former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Cris Collinsworth, who celebrated his 500th career broadcast during NBC's Sunday Night Football game, examined the decision the team will make about whether to play starting quarterback Joe Burrow against the Baltimore Ravens in NFL Week 13 on Thanksgiving night.
"Are they gonna play Joe Burrow?" Collinsworth said at the end of the Rams-Buccaneers broadcast. "I mean he's back practicing, and he kinda makes a lot of the decisions there. You know? And you know Ja'Marr Chase is not gonna be too happy after having to sit out one. I mean, if they can beat the Ravens twice, right? It's a really interesting decision. I'll just say that. It would be hard for me to take the franchise quarterback and risk him … but they might."
