Bengals Eye Late-November or Early-December Return for Joe Burrow as Workload Ramps Up

Cincinnati must decide on activating him by Dec. 1 under the 21-day return rule.

Overview

  • After sitting in Week 11, Burrow progressed through 7-on-7 last week and could take limited 11-on-11 reps this week, coach Zac Taylor said.
  • The team has not set a definitive date, with Week 13 at the Ravens or Week 14 against the Bills described as possibilities.
  • Multiple reports say he would likely play with a metal plate in his shoe and less mobility, prompting adjustments to usage and playcalling.
  • His practice window opened Nov. 10, and he must be activated by Dec. 1 to remain eligible to play this season.
  • Taylor and league reports indicate Burrow plans to return once cleared regardless of Cincinnati’s 3-7 record.
