Joe Burrow Shares First Post-Surgery Message, 'See You Soon'

Team officials report a successful toe surgery with no return timeline.

Overview

  • The Bengals quarterback suffered a Grade 3 turf toe in Week 2 against the Jaguars and underwent ligament repair last week.
  • Head coach Zac Taylor said the procedure went well, but the team has not set a target for his return.
  • Burrow is on injured reserve as reporting points to roughly a three-month recovery that could push any comeback to mid or late December.
  • Jake Browning has taken over at quarterback; Cincinnati lost 48-10 to the Vikings in its first game without Burrow, the worst defeat in team history.
  • NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported the surgery was performed at Andrews Sports Medicine in Birmingham, and the 2-1 Bengals visit the Broncos on Monday night.
