Joe Burrow Health, Injury Updates & History

Set for surgery on his Grade 3 turf toe injury, setting at minimum a 3 month timetable for recovery,...

Left turf toe has been confirmed by the Bengals and Joe Burrow has sustained a Grade 3 turf toe injury, requiring surgery, which would put him out at least 3 months, if not, the rest of the season

By limited video suffered a left turf toe injury, limped off, sent for an in-game MRI to determine severity of the injury, will not return today, if significant it could be a multi-week absence

By limited video his right ankle/foot was trapped under a defender, no clear view yet, seems unlikely to return today based on it impacting his push off/back side

Enjoyed a healthy and productive offseason now over a year from a surgically repaired wrist, he's now, by all accounts, fully recovered from that injury and we have no issues for Burrow heading into the 2025 season

Is still exhibiting a level of discomfort with his surgically repaired wrist, he was examined on the sideline in the third quarter and was seen trying and taking off gloves but ultimately had a strong game throwing 21/29 for 164 yards

Started last season with a strained calf and never really got a good start from there. He then suffered a torn wrist ligament in Week 11. Burrow has been cleared for all activities that do not involve contact and has even taken piano lessons to aid in his wrist recovery. With Burrow’s innovative rehab approach and a focused offseason, there’s optimism for a strong comeback.

Following a Week 11 wrist injury that required season-ending surgery, he has resumed throwing and confirmed that he is cleared to do everything that doesn't involve contact,

Will undergo surgery to repair a wrist ligament and miss the rest of the regular season - potential playoff return will depend on which ligament - exited Thursday's game in the first half and was unable to throw - wasn't on injury report for wrist prior to W11

Out for second half, per head coach Zac Taylor - likely dealing with a right wrist injury involving the ulnar nerve, which affects grip - could be a TFCC tear which would require a scope surgery that he could return from later this season
