Joe Burrow Will Start for Bengals on Thanksgiving at Ravens

His return follows a rapid recovery from Grade 3 turf toe that sidelined him for nine games.

Overview

  • Head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow "looks in good shape" to play, and Burrow emphasized he will not sit if healthy or play scared of re-injury.
  • Burrow underwent toe surgery on Sept. 19 and is returning ahead of an initial 12-week projection after progressing through his practice window.
  • The Bengals are 3-8 after losing eight of nine without Burrow, making the divisional trip to Baltimore pivotal for their faint postseason hopes.
  • Ja'Marr Chase is back from a one-game suspension, while fellow wideout Tee Higgins has been ruled out with a concussion.
  • Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice Tuesday after missing a walkthrough, positioning both starters to play on Thanksgiving night.
