The Cowboys will be monitoring the health of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow ahead of their Week 14 game against Cincy.
The Dallas Cowboys had the day off on Sunday and hopefully were able to rest up and prepare for a potential playoff run that does in fact have a heartbeat, however faint it may be. In order for the Cowboys to make that heartbeat stronger, they will have to win a few more games. Consider that Dallas has five games left this season and will likely need to win at least four of them to make a serious run at the postseason, but that very number – four – is how many of their future opponents won in Week 13.
The only remaining Cowboys opponent who lost on Sunday was the one they will see next in the Cincinnati Bengals. While Cincy lost, they put up a fight against the Pittsburgh Steelers and maybe did not escape it feeling 100%.
ESPN’s Ben Baby noted after the Bengals game that quarterback Joe Burrow was seen with a “heavy” limp. Apparently Burrow said the team would have a better idea on his status come Tuesday.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow walked with a heavy limp after the game. He said he got cleated on the first play of the game, which caused a gash that drew a good amount of blood.
Burrow: on how he felt: “It’s always tough to tell right after the game. We’ll know more on Tuesday.”

You never want to root for injuries. But the reality is that Dallas hosts Burrow’s team next and his health will play a critical role in the matchup. As Burrow himself noted the full details on what his status is, if it is even remotely questionable, will take some time to be determined.
We will keep you updated on it all as the week unfolds.
