Bengals Weigh Activating Joe Burrow After Back-to-Back Full Practices

Zac Taylor will decide after Friday's session before a Saturday deadline to activate the quarterback.

Overview

  • Joe Burrow practiced fully on Wednesday and Thursday and took 100% of the quarterback reps, including snaps with starting center Ted Karras.
  • He remains on injured reserve; to be eligible for the Nov. 23 game against the Patriots he must be activated by 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 22, with Dec. 1 as the end of his 21-day window.
  • Head coach Zac Taylor has not named a starter and says the decision will be based on practice evaluations and medical input.
  • Teammate Tee Higgins says Burrow looks like his Week 1 self and has been "outstanding" in throwing sessions.
  • Joe Flacco has started during Burrow's absence but was limited in practice with a right shoulder issue, and Cincinnati is 3-7 without suspended receiver Ja'Marr Chase for Sunday.
