Overview

  • Joe Burrow underwent surgery for turf toe and, while no official timeline is set, ESPN reporting suggests roughly a three-month absence and Jay Glazer cautions he could miss the season.
  • Jake Browning’s first start of 2025 ended in a 48-10 loss at Minnesota, where he went 19-of-27 for 140 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions, and three sacks.
  • The Bengals have not made calls on veteran trade options, and Adam Schefter reports the team plans to stick with Browning.
  • Cincinnati added quarterbacks Sean Clifford and Mike White to bolster reserves, joining Brett Rypien on the practice squad.
  • Turnovers and a struggling ground game are compounding issues, with Cincinnati near the bottom of the league in rushing as it prepares to visit Denver on Monday night.
