I think the decision to play, (or not play), Burrow will say a lot about Taylor's job security. Starting 0-3 is almost a certainty that they wont make the playoffs. Only 1 team out of last 99 (since 2002 *thanks ESPN*) has made the playoffs after starting 0-3. So if ZT is on the hot seat, it wouldn't surprise me that he rushes Burrow back. Conversely, if he feels impunity, he can give #9 all the time he needs

I wonder how much a 17-game season changes that. It has to give teams a slightly better chance. Hopefully, we see the Bengals trying to make 2 teams making it 2 out of 100.

at first I thought no way he misses because they are 0-2 but now I'm thinking he won't play but they want the Rams to have to prepare as if he was.

Burrow's not some QB you risk for a week three win. He's got a long and top career ahead of him so if I'm the owner and my coach is pushing the QB to play through something significant, even something that greatly affects his ability to move which opens him up to more hits, I'd fire the coach.

That's a solid backup addition right there.
He's thrown less than 200 passes in 6 years. How would anyone know how solid that is? If anything, it says he's been a low ranking career backup.

No need to overthink this. I have always liked him as a backup and still do.
