Bengals coach Zac Taylor said that Jake Browning will miss "some time" with his ribs injury.
Fantasy Impact
It is unclear what "some time" means in this context. Browning is expected to open the season as the backup to Joe Burrow assuming he is healthy by then.
Jake Browning signed a two-year contract with the Bengals on Tuesday, ensuring he'd be with the team through the 2025 season.
Fantasy Impact
Browning impressed when Joe Burrow went down with a season-ending finger injury last season, so it's good the Bengals want to keep him around. If he ever needs to start, he's a solid QB2 option for fantasy.
The Bengals have extended a tender to Jake Browning.
Fantasy Impact
Browning will remain on the team next season backing up Joe Burrow. He impressed in flashes across seven starts this past year, throwing 12 touchdowns to seven interceptions and leading them to a 4-3 record. He is someone the Bengals know they can trust if Burrow ever had to miss time.
Jake Browning completed 18 of his 24 passes for 156 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception while adding two carries for 18 yards in a 31-14 win over the Browns in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Browning played well with the Browns resting several key players on defense. He threw two touchdown passes to Andrei Iosivas and the third to Joe Mixon. Browning finishes his season with 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions in nine games. While Joe Burrow is still the clear starter in Cincy, Browning has established himself as a quality backup quarterback option moving forward.
Jake Browning completed 19-of-33 pass attempts for 197 yards and one touchdown while also rushing seven times for 32 yards and one touchdown in the Bengals' Week 17 25-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
Browning has found a way to make an impact on the ground as well as through the air of late, recording 10 total touchdowns (seven passing, three rushing) in the last five games for the Bengals. The signal-caller will be a risky option for fantasy managers ahead of a tough Week 18 home matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 18.
