Overview

• Head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow’s Friday procedure for a Grade 3 turf toe went well, and he was placed on injured reserve, guaranteeing at least a four-week absence.
• Burrow was seen in the locker room Monday with his foot in a cast and using a scooter as he attended team meetings.
• NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the surgery was performed at Andrews Sports Medicine in Birmingham and that Burrow is not expected to travel with the team for two weeks.
• Reports describe an estimated three-month recovery, with Rapoport noting a possible December return only if rehab is perfect and Jay Glazer calling that timeline very optimistic.
• Jake Browning is starting at quarterback, and the Bengals’ first game without Burrow was a 48-10 loss to the Vikings, described as the worst defeat in franchise history, with Denver up next on Monday night.
