Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow tries a new position at training camp and he's pretty good

Is Joe Burrow tackling a new position?

Probably not. But it's fun to imagine.

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback isn't throwing at training camp Friday. So what did he do instead of practicing his typical position?

He worked on punting.

According to Enquirer reporter Charlie Goldsmith , Burrow opened practice Friday by working on punts with special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons.

"He’s pretty good at it," Goldsmith wrote on X/Twitter.

The Bengals posted a video of Burrow's kick to social media.

It's hard to imagine Burrow taking punter Brad Robbins' spot, whom the Bengals selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft. But perhaps he may need to break out the pooch punt on an opposing defense this season.

The decision for Burrow not to throw Friday was planned.

"We're going to play it by ear," Burrow said at his Wednesday press conference . "We don't really plan on practicing more than two days in a row beyond this first chunk. We're going to play that third day by ear for the next week and then after that I plan on going every day."

The Bengals open preseason play at home Aug. 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
