NFL players know what they've signed up for and they know the risks of playing the game, especially in skill positions. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow essentially agreed with that statement in his weekly podcast appearance.

Speaking on The Colin Cowherd Podcast, Burrow said players are informed of the hazards of being a player - especially in skill positions like quarterback. This comes after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a possible second concussion against his Bengals team last Thursday night.

'You're going to have head injuries,' Burrow told the podcast. 'You're going to tear your ACL. You're going to break your arm. 

'That's the game that we play. That's the life that we live. And we get paid handsomely for it. I think going into every game, we know what we're getting ourselves into.'
