Bengals' Joe Flacco indifferent about Joe Burrow's return to practice: 'I really don't care'

"I'm honestly not really thinking about it. It's not really a part of my process. I really don't care. It's this week, and that's all that matters. And I think to think about that stuff would just be a distraction. So, it's not really something I'm worried about. Like I said, I'm just worried about doing my job, and this week that's going out and playing against Pittsburgh."

Flacco, who struggled with the Browns prior to being benched for Dillon Gabriel, has filled in admirably for Burrow. In four starts with the Bengals, Flacco has completed 64.7% of his passes for 1,254 yards with 11 touchdowns and two interceptions.

By comparison, in Flacco's four starts with the Browns, he completed just 58.1% of his passes for 815 yards with two touchdowns and six interceptions. 

While Flacco has played well, the Bengals are just 1-3 in his four starts because of their porous defense. The Bengals are 3-6 and need to get hot down the stretch to give themselves a chance at making the playoffs.
