Overview

• Coach Zac Taylor confirmed Burrow will have surgery for a torn ligament in his big toe and declined to set a date or timeline.
• Burrow was injured in the second quarter of a 31-27 victory over the Jaguars when he was pulled down and other players landed on him.
• Outside reports indicate a surgical recovery of about three months is realistic, which would cover much of the regular season.
• Browning replaced Burrow and led a game-winning drive against Jacksonville, and the Bengals are preparing to proceed with him at quarterback.
• The setback follows Burrow’s prior major injuries, including a season-ending knee injury and a 2023 wrist operation.
