"The Cincinnati Bengals are 2-0, but they would be forgiven for feeling as if their season is already over after receiving devastating news about an injury to starting quarterback Joe Burrow. Burrow left the Bengals' Week 2 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars with a toe injury that was confirmed on Monday to be a severe form of turf toe. It was reported on Monday that the injury will require surgery and keep Burrow out for three months,"
"The loss of a quarterback who led the NFL in passing yards and passing touchdowns is a crushing one for the Bengals, who managed to beat the Jaguars without Burrow after backup Jake Browning snuck in on a one-yard touchdown run with 18 seconds remaining. Browning won four games as a starter in 2023 with Burrow on the sidelines. However, with the Bengals facing eight games with 2024 playoff teams in the 11 that their starter is set to miss,"
Joe Burrow suffered a severe form of turf toe in Week 2 and will require surgery that is expected to sideline him for roughly three months. Burrow previously overcame multiple injuries and won Comeback Player of the Year twice. The Bengals won the Week 2 game without Burrow on a late Jake Browning touchdown. Browning started four wins in 2023 but faces a daunting stretch with eight games against 2024 playoff teams among the 11 games Burrow will miss. The Bengals are evaluating alternatives including free agent Taylor Heinicke and potential trade candidates.
