Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow was carted off the field with a left knee injury in Sunday's game at Washington.

Burrow went down after getting hit below the waist by a Washington defensive lineman with just over 11 minutes left in the third quarter.

Up until that point, Burrow was 22-of-34 passing for 203 yards, one touchdown and one fumble lost. He was quickly ruled out for the game. 

Ryan Finley replaced Burrow at quarterback. 

As he was carted off the field, the Bengals' sideline went over to the rookie quarterback. Washington players  Dwayne Haskins, Chase Young and Terry McLaurin also went over to visit with their former Ohio State teammate.

Burrow, who transferred to LSU in 2018 and eventually led the Tigers to a national championship, was the top overall pick in the 2020 draft.
