Reports: Bengals QB Joe Burrow Won't Play Against Patriots

Bengals weigh activating Joe Burrow from injured reserve after toe surgery with a 21-day return window closing soon, amid team's 3-7 record and playoff hopes.

  • On Friday, the Bengals listed Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, as questionable for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots at Paycor Stadium with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET.
  • After suffering a turf-toe injury in Week 2 and undergoing surgery on Sept. 19, Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, entered a 21-day practice window enacted on Nov. 10 allowing activation off injured reserve.
  • After two full practices midweek, Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, fully participated Wednesday and Thursday but was limited Friday; Tee Higgins called his work "outstanding" and Zac Taylor said, "I think Joe has done everything he can to put himself in a position to get back".
  • The Bengals have until Nov. 22 at 4 p.m. ET to activate Joe Burrow from injured reserve, or Joe Flacco would likely start after throwing for 1,453 yards, 12 touchdowns and three interceptions this season.
  • Cincinnati sits at 3-7 and Burrow's availability could determine how the rest of the 2025 campaign unfolds, while Dimers.com simulations project a 28-22 Patriots win and a 68 percent New England win probability across 10,000 simulated outcomes.
