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

He will sit out Sunday with a gradual ramp-up underway before the Dec. 1 activation deadline.

Overview

  • Burrow remains on injured reserve but can practice without counting against the 53-man roster during the Nov. 10–Dec. 1 window.
  • Zac Taylor said Burrow will not face the Steelers and will start with routes and position work, avoiding 11-on-11 initially.
  • Burrow declined to set a return date, saying the next couple of weeks will guide decisions, though a Thanksgiving timeframe has been reported by Jay Glazer.
  • Cincinnati is 3-6 and 1-6 since Burrow’s Week 2 Grade 3 turf toe surgery, with veteran Joe Flacco continuing as the starter.
  • If Burrow is not activated by Dec. 1, he must remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season under NFL rules.
