"Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor refused to commit to Joe Burrow returning from injury this week, despite the star quarterback practicing in full on Wednesday. Burrow has not played since Week 2, when he suffered a turf toe injury that required surgery. The Bengals have slumped to a 3-7 record in his absence despite trading for veteran Joe Flacco, with their struggles on the defensive side of the ball severely hindering Cincinnati's playoff hopes."
"With seven games of their 2025 NFL season remaining, the Bengals are three games behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC West and three games adrift of the final Wild Card berth in the conference. The Bengals will hope the prospective return of Burrow is enough to keep their season alive even with their considerable issues on defense. Yet it is far from a guarantee he returns this week to face the 9-2 New England Patriots."
Joe Burrow practiced fully on Wednesday but remains an uncertain game-time decision for the upcoming matchup with the 9-2 New England Patriots. Burrow has been sidelined since Week 2 due to a turf toe that required surgery. The Bengals have gone 3-7 without him despite adding veteran Joe Flacco, and defensive problems have significantly hurt playoff chances. With seven games left in the 2025 season, Cincinnati trails the Pittsburgh Steelers by three games in the AFC West and sits three games behind the final Wild Card spot. Coach Zac Taylor said he has not made a decision and will consider all information before determining Burrow's status.
