Joe Burrow could end up returning to the Cincinnati Bengals sooner than expected.
The 28-year-old Joe Burrow has been sidelined since suffering a turf toe injury in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Initially, there was some doubt that he would return this season.
But in an encouraging development, the Bengals announced that Burrow returned to practice today in a limited capacity. As such, the 21-day period has opened where he can practice without taking up one of the 53-man roster spots, and the Pro Bowl signal-caller can be activated any time over those three weeks.
Per ESPN, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor has already said Burrow won’t play in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, noting this is merely “Day 1” of the process for his return to football.
Joe Burrow had 189 passing yards and two touchdowns over his first two games before suffering turf toe. He also suffered season-ending knee and wrist injuries in the 2020 and 2023 seasons, respectively.
