Joe Burrow Injury News
View AllJoe Burrow Return Window Opens
The Bengals announced Monday that QB Joe Burrow has been cleared to start practicing on a limited basis. The announcement comes two months after he suffered a Grade 3 turf toe vs. Jacksonville in Week 2. He had surgery on Sept. 19 and was expected to miss at least three months. This return to practice means the team now has three weeks to either fully activate Burrow or end his season. The end of that decision window would hit between the Week 13 visit to Baltimore and a Week 14 trip to Buffalo. How the 3-6 Bengals fare over the next three games will likely factor into that decision.
