During the Cincinnati Bengals preseason camp on Thursday afternoon, star quarterback Joe Burrow went down with an unfortunate injury, suffering a calf strain that will keep him sidelined for “several weeks” as he recovers. And as he’s out with the injury, it sounds like the team is making some moves to bolster the quarterback position.

According to a report from league insider Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Cincinnati Bengals are bringing in a couple of former XFL quarterbacks for a tryout: Reid Sinnett and Drew Plitt.

“With #Bengals QB Joe Burrow Sidelined for several weeks with a calf strain, Cincy is working out two former XFL QBs — Reid Sinnett and Drew Plitt (who was with the #Bengals in camp last year),” Rapoport said in a tweet.

Obviously, the team’s search for a new quarterback to add to the current roster is a pretty temporary measure as it’s just to solidify the position as long as Burrow is sidelined with his injury, but it still led to quite a few reactions from the NFL world as a result.

This is not a drill: The Plitt Platoon from last preseason may be reassembling.

My suspicion has been confirmed. The Bengals aren’t working out Joe Flacco for fear he will win the starting job https://t.co/CYGUqxY8kG

Last year’s No. 2 in Cinci was… current Niners No. 4 Brandon Allen https://t.co/B0p2GF6uu9

Whoever the team ultimately decides to sign will join the quarterbacks room alongside current backup quarterbacks Trevor Siemian and Jake Browning.
