Bengals QB Joe Burrow to have toe surgery, expected to miss at least three months

Joe Burrow's surgery for a Grade 3 turf toe will sideline him for three months, impacting the Bengals' season as they face key opponents without their starting quarterback.

  • On Sunday, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a Grade 3 turf toe during the second quarter at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, and left the locker room on crutches with a walking boot, facing a multi-month absence.
  • Sacked by Arik Armstead, Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle, Joe Burrow's left cleat stuck in the turf during his fall late in the second quarter at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.
  • Backup Jake Browning relieved Burrow and completed 21 of 32 passes for 241 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, helping the Cincinnati Bengals rally to a 31-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday.
  • With Burrow sidelined, Jake Browning is expected to start while Cincinnati Bengals, with just three quarterbacks on roster, have contacted free-agent quarterbacks ahead of the team's upcoming five-game stretch against playoff-caliber opponents.
  • Given Burrow's prior significant injuries, Grade 3 turf toe can take two to six months to heal and his 2023 season-ending arm injury raises concerns about his recovery, Schefter reported.
