Joe Burrow Undergoes Successful Toe Surgery as Bengals Decline to Set Return Timeline

He remains on injured reserve for at least four weeks.

Overview

  • Burrow suffered a Grade 3 turf toe in the second quarter against the Jaguars when he was sacked by Arik Armstead.
  • Cincinnati placed him on injured reserve Tuesday, which rules him out for a minimum of four games.
  • Media outlets project roughly a three-month recovery with the most optimistic return in mid-December, a timeline the team has not confirmed.
  • Jake Browning takes over at quarterback, and the Bengals added Mike White and Sean Clifford to the practice squad for depth.
  • The procedure was reported to have been performed at Andrews Sports Medicine in Birmingham, and Burrow left Sunday’s game with assistance before using a walking boot and a crutch.
