The Bengals looked to Ryan Finley at quarterback when Joe Burrow suffered a late-season knee injury against Washington last Sunday, but they are not expected to give him the start against the Giants in Week 12.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the team plans to start Brandon Allen. Allen was promoted from the practice squad when Burrow entered the injured reserve on Monday.
Allen started three games for the Broncos last season and finished 39 of 84 for 515 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. These are the only regular season appearances he has made since entering the league as the Jaguars’ sixth round pick in 2016. He also spent time with the Rams while head coach of the Bengals, Zac Taylor, was on their staff.
Finley finished 3 of 10 for 30 yards after replacing Burrow last week, although the passing game was a net negative as the team lost 31 yards on four sacks. He started three games for the Bengals last season, but it looks like Taylor and his company have seen enough of the fourth round of 2019 yet.
