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.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was helped to the locker room after having his leg rolled up in the second quarter against the Jaguars.

The Bengals somehow don’t have a cart, so staff members had to help Burrow to the locker room. No word yet on his status, but at least, for the time being, Jake Browning is in at quarterback. Burrow had 76 yards and a touchdown on 7/13 passing.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.

Confirmed: Tee Higgins is good to go for Sunday.

Zac Taylor also stating Joe Burrow (left knee) was officially limited today — but is ready for Sunday.

Good news ahead of a great matchup against the Browns; consider Higgins a WR2 in Week 16.

Joe Burrow with a postgame bombshell:

“I’m confident we are going to do what it takes to get Tee Higgins back (in 2025).”

The post added that Burrow went on to say he is willing to do what it takes to make that happen. As Clifford said himself, it's a mega statement coming from Burrow. We can't blame Burrow for wanting to keep both Chase and Higgins around, and it sounds like he'll be willing to at least restructure his deal to make it happen. Higgins should be a highly-sought after player in the offseason, and a recent report said the Patriots would be willing go pay him a lot.

Zac Taylor just told the Bengals local media that QB Joe Burrow has been fully cleared for contact

Paul Dehner added in a similar post that Burrow, and the rest of the starters, will get playing time this preseason, according to Taylor. The post added Taylor said he will continue to be proactive in easing Burrow through camp with eyes on being in top form closer to season.

Plot twist: The Bengals are now trading Joe Mixon to the Texans, rather than releasing him. So Zack Moss signs in Cincy, Mixon is traded to Houston. From Joe Burrow to C.J. Stroud.

Related Players: Dameon Pierce

Dameon Pierce has been woefully inefficient with his touches during his first two seasons in Houston, which led to Devin Singletary snatching his job away from him last year. He is unlikely to get in the way of Mixon taking over the majority of the workload. This is a best-possible-scenario for Mixon after leaving the Bengals and brings him right back into fantasy relevance as a pass-catcher on a great offense.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow is out for the year with a torn ligament, per coach Zac Taylor.

He had his MRI this morning. Jake Browning, who finished last night, is his backup.

The Bengals will likely bring in some more competition, but that's all she wrote for Burrow's 2023 season. Every skill position player will have their ceilings capped for the rest of the year.

Joe Burrow could be seen working on his right index finger during the first half of the game and he got some attention on the sideline as well.

“Little cut, nothing bad,” Burrow said in his postgame press conference.

None of the machinations got in the way of Burrow throwing a 22-yard touchdown to tight end Drew Sample before halftime and Burrow go 31-of-44 for 348 yards and two touchdowns over the course of the 24-18 win over the Bills, the story said.
