The Bengals are coming off an impressive 35–13 victory over Baltimore, with Burrow throwing for 292 yards and four touchdowns and Tee Higgins delivering a huge performance with 148 receiving yards. Burrow also earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, giving Cincinnati plenty of momentum heading into Sunday.

However, the news wasn’t all positive. Taylor confirmed that tight end Erick All Jr. suffered a season-ending ACL injury, while Tanner Hudson is also expected to miss the remainder of the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Burrow called the losses significant, and the Bengals will now need other players to step up. Rookie tight end Jack Endries could have a bigger role moving forward, while Cam Grandy provides another option at the position.

Burrow also discussed the possibility of roster moves ahead of the NFL trade deadline, offering insight into the team's approach to improving the roster while continuing to trust the players already in the building.

With the Bengals sitting at 4–2, Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans presents another opportunity to build momentum and strengthen their position. Can Cincinnati keep its offense rolling despite the injuries, and will the team make any moves before the trade deadline?

Watch for the latest updates, key takeaways from Zac Taylor and Joe Burrow, and everything Bengals fans need to know heading into Week 8.
