NFL: Joe Burrow Injury Update and Return Timeline

by Dr. Michael Lee – Health Editor

cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is progressing in his recovery from toe surgery and could return⁢ to the field before the end of November, the team announced. Burrow’s 21-day practice window opened November 10th, initiating a timeline for his return from Injured Reserve.

Despite the Bengals’ 3-7 record, Burrow is determined to rejoin the team as soon as he ⁤is​ medically cleared. His ‌initial ​target is the Thanksgiving Day game⁤ against the Baltimore ‍Ravens. If he isn’t ready by⁤ then, the team has until the Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills to activate him.‍ Burrow underwent surgery in September​ to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, sidelining him for a minimum ​of three months. ⁣

According to reports, Burrow has been actively participating in individual drills and is increasing his workload as he nears full recovery. His return would provide a significant boost ‍to a Bengals offense that has struggled in his absence, currently‍ averaging​ 189 passing⁤ yards and 2 touchdowns per game​ with 0 interceptions. The team is closely monitoring his progress to ensure he doesn’t re-aggravate the injury.
