Overview
- Burrow was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday and completed his first 11-on-11 work since the Week 2 injury, marking his biggest step in recovery.
- The Bengals opened Burrow’s 21-day practice window on Nov. 10, allowing practice without a roster spot and requiring an activation decision before the window closes.
- Head coach Zac Taylor declined to name a starter for Sunday against the Patriots, saying the staff will evaluate Burrow through this week’s sessions before deciding.
- League reporters have pointed to Thanksgiving night at Baltimore as a plausible target for Burrow’s return, though that timing remains contingent on medical clearance.
- Joe Flacco was limited with a right shoulder issue and Ja’Marr Chase will serve a one-game suspension, as the 3-7 Bengals confront long playoff odds and an unsettled offense.
