The Cincinnati Bengals are nothing if not predictable.

Joe Burrow took another big sack. And he's hurt. 

Bengals fans on social media weren't happy. It seems Cincy can never have an adequate offensive line.

Joe Burrow injury update

Burrow took his helmet off once he was seated on the ground, and he began to grab at his left ankle or left foot area.

He eventually made his way to the medical tent.

Here's a look at that sequence:

On the replay, Burrow's left foot appears to get caught in the ground a little bit on his final plant as he gets sacked.

That could mean something to do with turf toe, or maybe a tweaked ankle. 

After the medical tent, Burrow limped to the locker room. He needed assistance from the trainers.

The Bengals' backup QB is Jake Browning.

Bengals fans will wait and hope.
