Overview

• Coach Zac Taylor confirmed Burrow underwent toe surgery on Friday, said it went well, and provided no timetable for a return.
• FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer reported the procedure repaired a fully torn tendon, ligament and capsule in Burrow’s big toe.
• Glazer called the widely cited three‑month estimate very optimistic and said a comeback is more plausible only if Cincinnati reaches the playoffs.
• Dianna Russini reported that a December return is considered a long shot by players who have experienced the same injury.
• With Burrow out for months, Jake Browning starts in Week 3 against the Vikings and the team is not pursuing a veteran quarterback for now.
