Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow appears poised to return on Thanksgiving against the Ravens.

Related players: Joe Flacco

Head coach Zac Taylor said today that he anticipates Burrow playing on Thursday night, the story said. Burrow hasn’t played since suffering a toe injury in Week 2. He likely won't have Tee Higgins in the lineup due to a concussion, but Ja'Marr Chase returns from suspension.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow won’t be activated from injured reserve Saturday, ruling him out for Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

Burrow did get a full week of practice in, his first practices since his Week 3 injury. There’s a chance he’ll be active and start on Thanksgiving against the Ravens. It’ll be one more start for Joe Flacco, a start in which he will not have Ja’Marr Chase, who is serving a one-game suspension for spitting on Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey last week.

For a second straight day today, Bengals QB Joe Burrow has been taking snaps with Cincinnati’s starting offense, preparing him for the possibility that he could play Sunday vs. New England.

This would be a very early return for Burrow, particularly when we consider that the team is 3-7 at the moment. If he were to somehow make a miraculous return in Week 12, he would actually be in a good spot against the Patriots' 25th-ranked defense according to QB aFPA, but he'd also be without Ja'Marr Chase, who is serving a one-game suspension. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but things are certainly pointing toward a return.

Joe Burrow didn't want to reveal too much about when he could be playing for the Cincinnati Bengals again this season, but he does have a potential target date in mind.

Burrow said Monday that it will be very meaningful if he can return from a turf toe injury on his left foot for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 27. Two years ago, Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury during a November prime-time game at M&T Bank Stadium that was also on a Thursday night.

Burrow's window is officially open as of yesterday and we reported the 21 days would take him to Week 14's game, which is an early December game. December looked to be his target return since the injury so the news of his new target date is encouraging. The story said Burrow didn't rule out the notion that the team's overall record will factor into that decision. Cincinnati (3-6) has lost five of its six games since Burrow suffered the toe injury during a Week 2 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow is returning to practice this week — a major step towards playing again later this season.

Burrow’s recovery from turf toe surgery is on track and now Cincinnati will open Burrow’s 21-day practice window in hopes of having him in action sometime next month, the post went on to say. Burrow will likely be limited for bit in practice, but was was given a timeline to return in December. If the team uses the full practice window, it means Burrow could return Dec. 7, which is Week 14, when the Bengals travel to Buffalo.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Monday that the team would evaluate its options at quarterback after Jake Browning’s struggles while filling in for the injured Joe Burrow.

According to multiple reports, the Bengals have agreed to acquire Joe Flacco from the Browns.

Cincinnati will receive Flacco and a sixth-round pick in exchange for a fifth-round pick to complete the rare intra-AFC North trade. We just reported a story earlier today saying if the Bengals do make a change, it will be a QB from outside team who gets the start. Flacco should give the Bengals a steadier option at the position until Burrow is able to return in December. The story pointed out, it's unclear just how long it may take Flacco to get up to speed and if the team will push him to start this week. We'll likely learn more about that as the week goes on.

ESPN sources: Bengals QB Joe Burrow will need toe surgery.

As we reported yesterday, surgery could require Burrow to miss at least three months of the season, and Schefter is confirming that again this morning. It's obviously a huge blow for fantasy owners of Burrow. Burrow could be back around early-to-mid December based on this timeline. The good news is Browning has shown he can be a decent fantasy QB option, and he threw for 241 yards and two TDs coming in to replace Burrow in Week 2 - but he also threw three interceptions. So, owners of Chase Brown, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins hopefully will only see minimal drops in fantasy value going forward. Browning is worth a pickup off the wire in pretty much any league format, but will especially be a popular target in multi-QB or superflex leagues.

Updating an earlier item on Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Ian Rapoport is reporting Burrow could miss at least three months with his turf toe and torn ligaments, if surgery is needed.

Missing three months would mean Burrow could potentially return in Week 16 against the Dolphins. That probably would also require the Bengals to still be in the playoff hunt by then. The Bengals are 2-0 and Jake Browning has kept the team afloat before. As far as fantasy goes, this is probably worst-case scenario without actually saying season-ending. He could return for the fantasy playoffs, but it’s hard to gauge what those chances actually are, depending on how the Bengals do up until then.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow is believed to have turf toe with torn ligaments, suffered during Sunday’s win over the Jaguars.

Burrow had his leg rolled up in the second quarter and was helped to the locker room. He was later ruled questionable and then out with a toe injury. According to Rauch, it could be a “tricky timeline” for Burrow but several weeks is possible. Certainly a costly victory for the Bengals, who are 2-0 for the first time under head coach Zac Taylor. Jake Browning helped lead the comeback win, including the game-winning one-yard score. The Bengals head to Minnesota next week.
