Overview
- The team activated Burrow’s 21-day practice window, allowing limited work without a 53-man roster spot and requiring activation within that period or a return to injured reserve.
- Head coach Zac Taylor ruled Burrow out for Sunday at Pittsburgh and said early sessions will be individual work with no 11-on-11.
- Burrow, recovering from September surgery for a Grade 3 turf toe suffered in Week 2, said the next couple of weeks will determine when he can play.
- NFL insiders have reported a potential target around Thanksgiving or into December, but the team has not set a return date.
- Cincinnati is 3-6 and 1-6 without Burrow; Joe Flacco has produced at quarterback while defensive struggles persist, with New England and Baltimore up next after the Steelers.
