Joe Burrow returned to practice in a limited capacity today.
He also spoke to the media for the first time since his turf-toe injury.
Burrow made it clear that he will need to see how he feels over the next couple of weeks before returning to the field.
The star QB told NFL insider Jay Glazer that he plans to return “Thanksgiving-ish”.
Burrow added that returning from this injury wasn’t as bad as some of his other major injuries.
“I was able to get back to my strength and conditioning routine pretty quick, so my body’s in a good spot,” he said.
That is all fantastic news. The question in the meantime is if the defense can stop anybody.
Up next, the Bengals will face the Pittsburgh Steelers, who Cincinnati narrowly defeated last time, the only win without Burrow as the starter.
Following the bye, it’ll be worth watching how the defense responds to subtle and not-so-subtle criticism from players on the offensive side, who have apparently had enough.
