BREAKING: Bengals’ Zac Taylor drops injury update on Joe Burrow, amid wrist surgery rehab

The Cincinnati Bengals are facing an important season ahead. It may be the last opportunity for their key players, Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins, to play together. There is speculation that Higgins, who has been franchise-tagged, may be traded during the season, after the season, or sign with another team.

However, there are concerns about Burrow’s status. Last season, he suffered a significant wrist injury that sidelined him for the rest of the year. Updates on his rehabilitation progress have been scarce, causing some worry among fans.

Fortunately, in a recent press conference, Burrow provided an update on his rehab. The news was positive: he mentioned that he has been following his regular offseason routine without any major setbacks. This is encouraging, considering that less than six months have passed since his injury.

Burrow injured his wrist during a game against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. It was a distressing sight for Bengals fans as he was unable to throw a football immediately after the injury. He was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the season, and the Bengals failed to make it to the playoffs.

Joe Burrow’s injury history

The Bengals are eager for Burrow to make a full recovery in time for their training camp and pre-season activities. Throughout his NFL career, Burrow has faced challenges with his training camp. In each season, the talented quarterback has been hindered by injuries that disrupted his preparation.

In 2022, he had to undergo an emergency appendectomy, causing him to miss the preseason. Last season, a calf injury during the Bengals’ training camp further limited his valuable preparation time. Many have speculated that this lack of a solid offseason may have contributed to Burrow’s slow starts to the season.
