Joe Burrow Will Not Play for Sunday's Bengals Game vs. Patriots, Reports Say

Multiple key quarterbacks including Joe Burrow and Aaron Rodgers are questionable or out, impacting team rotations and NFL betting lines across Week 12 games.

  • On Saturday, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will remain on injured reserve and will not start Sunday against the New England Patriots.
  • Sidelined by a grade 3 turf toe from Week 2, Joe Burrow has not played since and is slightly ahead of his initial December return timeline at 65 days post-surgery.
  • Coach Zac Taylor said `You play a game Sunday, you play a game Thursday` and added `I have to take into account what's best for him` as Burrow took snaps with the first team while Joe Flacco worked with the second team.
  • Joe Flacco will start for the Bengals Sunday as Cincinnati faces two games in five days with a Thanksgiving showdown against the Baltimore Ravens looming.
  • With the 21-day window opened on Nov. 10, the Bengals can activate Burrow anytime during that span, and NFL insider Ian Rapoport said he is on track for a mid-December return.
