Joe Burrow is dealing with some back tightness, he explained Wednesday.

“I feel alright. Normal gameday soreness. I feel alright,” Burrow described.

The Bengals star was limited at Wednesday’s practice, but the back tightness will not keep him from playing against the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Burrow remains on track to start. Thursday’s practice will determine whether this can be dismissed as routine soreness or needs to become a genuine Week 2 concern.

Bengals officially activated Joe Burrow for Thursday night’s game at Baltimore. He is expected to start.

It's fair to assume this means Burrow will be taking the field on Thanksgiving. Might be too late for the Bengals to make the playoffs, but there's still time for our fantasy teams. Consider him a QB1 in what could end up being an exciting divisional matchup.

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

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.

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 QB Joe Flacco is expected to start Sunday against the Bears.

Flacco is dealing with an AC joint sprain but has indicated he plans to play Sunday. Flacco has given new life to the Bengals offense, throwing seven touchdowns in three games. Flacco is our No. 16 quarterback this week.

The Bengals list Joe Flacco (AC joint sprain) as questionable, while DE Trey Hendrickson (hip) is doubtful.

We've seen a huge shift in offensive effectiveness since Flacco came to town, particularly as far as Ja'Marr Chase is concerned. Chase would still be a must-start with Browning at the helm, but it would be a sharp downgrade for Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, Noah Fant, and anyone else on fantasy rosters.

Bengals QB Joe Flacco is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder & his status is up in the air for Sunday vs the Bears, sources say.

Flacco left the loss to the #Jets, then came back late. Coach Zac Taylor called him day-to-day. Jake Browning is the backup.
