Joe Burrow Cleared to Start Thanksgiving vs. Ravens

Burrow frames his comeback as a pledge to play without fear despite Cincinnati's slim postseason hopes.

Overview

  • The Bengals and NFL confirmed Burrow will return for the divisional matchup in Baltimore after a turf-toe layoff.
  • He sustained the big-toe joint injury in mid-September against the Jaguars and missed multiple games.
  • Cincinnati is 3–8 with playoff odds around one percent, and Burrow said the team likely needs to win all six remaining games.
  • Burrow emphasized he won’t sit if healthy and refuses to play cautiously out of fear of re-injury.
  • Head coach Zac Taylor rested him against the Patriots to avoid two games in five days, a move Burrow called good, and the team highlighted his return on social media.
