NFL Week 2: Bengals' Joe Burrow Faces Injury Challenge Against Texans

NFL Week 2 kicks off with a slate of eight games, including a key matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans, where Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is reportedly not fully healthy due to a back injury.

  • Eight NFL Week 2 games are scheduled to kick off at 6pm BST.
  • Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is reportedly dealing with a back injury.
  • Houston Texans pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. has recorded 93 quarterback pressures since the start of last season.

NFL Week 2 is underway with a bumper slate of eight games, all kicking off at 6pm BST. Among the matchups, the Cincinnati Bengals will face the Houston Texans, with questions surrounding the health of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

Burrow is reportedly not completely healthy due to a back injury, which could be a factor against the Texans' formidable defense. Houston's pass rusher Will Anderson Jr., who has recorded 93 quarterback pressures since the start of last season, is expected to target Burrow.

Another enticing game sees the Minnesota Vikings travel to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears in an NFC North rivalry. Both teams secured impressive wins last week, with the Bears notably winning a 59-37 shootout against the Panthers. Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams, who threw for two scores and ran in two against Carolina, will be hunted by Minnesota's new pass rusher Dallas Turner, who recorded a sack, 10 pressures, seven hits, and forced a fumble last week. The Vikings have won their last six visits to Soldier Field.
