Bengals Open 21-Day Window as Joe Burrow Returns to Limited Practice

Zac Taylor has ruled him out for Pittsburgh, with a cautious ramp-up following toe surgery.

Overview

  • Burrow participated in limited work and is not yet taking part in full 11-on-11 drills, according to the coach.
  • His return triggers the NFL’s 21-day practice window, allowing the team to evaluate him without using a 53-man roster spot until a decision is due.
  • Taylor confirmed he will not play Sunday at the Steelers, and reported target dates for a potential return include Nov. 23, Nov. 27 or Dec. 7 depending on progress.
  • Cincinnati is 3-6, and Joe Flacco has buoyed the offense in Burrow’s absence, averaging a league-high 313.5 passing yards over four starts.
  • Defensive end Trey Hendrickson is doubtful to return this week, further testing a defense that has struggled in recent losses.
