What happened: Cincinnati added Burrow to the injury report as questionable after the quarterback said he planned to suit up Sunday. The designation comes two days after he threw in practice while managing back tightness.

Why it matters: Any limitation for Burrow would reshape Cincinnati's offense heading into a road game. The issue has been a midweek focus around the Bengals, with Burrow saying back tightness would not keep him out Sunday before the questionable tag landed Friday.

What to watch: Cincinnati's final inactive list Sunday will determine whether the questionable tag changes Burrow's status. Pregame work now matters more than his earlier expectation to play.
