Bengals QB Joe Burrow recovering from toe surgery


Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (9) throws a pass in the first quarter of the NFL Week 2 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars at Paycor Stadium in downtown Cincinnati on Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025. The Jaguars led 17-10 at halftime.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is recovering Friday and morning toe surgery went well, Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor confirmed.

Taylor said there is no timetable yet for Burrow’s return from the Grade 3 turf toe injury, sustained in Sunday’s 31-27 win against Jacksonville.

Initial reports estimated a three-month recovery timeline for Burrow, who was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and will miss at least the required four games.

Cincinnati (2-0) resumes its schedule without its franchise quarterback at Minnesota (1-1) on Sunday with backup Jake Browning running the offense. He threw three interceptions but delivered a game-winning drive to defeat the Jaguars, 31-27, on Sunday.

Brett Rypien will be the second-string signal-caller against the Vikings. Quarterbacks Mike White and Sean Clifford are on Cincinnati’s practice squad.

It is another disappointing setback for Burrow, 28, already a two-time NFL Comeback Player of the Year following a season-ending knee injury in 2020 and a season-ending wrist injury in 2023.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Burrow is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and currently the league’s all-time leader in completion percentage at 68.5 percent.
