Overview

  • Head coach Zac Taylor said Friday’s procedure went well, with the surgery performed at Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama.
  • The team has provided no return date; Burrow is on injured reserve and will miss at least four games, while multiple outlets estimate about a three-month recovery.
  • Bengals have installed Jake Browning as the starter beginning with Sunday’s road game against the Vikings after he filled in effectively in 2023.
  • Brett Rypien is set as the No. 2 quarterback for Minnesota, with Mike White and Sean Clifford signed to the practice squad for added depth.
  • Burrow suffered the left-foot injury in Week 2 against Jacksonville on a sack by Arik Armstead and was later seen in a walking boot and on crutches as Cincinnati moved to 2-0.
