Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has set a date to have surgery on his turf toe. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Burrow will undergo the procedure to repair his Grade 3 turf toe on Friday at the Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama. The surgery may be pushed back a few days if the swelling doesn’t subside by Friday.
On Tuesday, the Bengals placed Joe Burrow on injured reserve after suffering a toe injury during the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars this past weekend. The former LSU star is set to miss at least three months of action.
“There’s not a lot we can do right now for Joe other than I feel terrible for him because he put in all the work,” Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday, per ESPN. “For him to have to go through this is the worst part of it. But as a football team, we just have to continue to move forward.”
Burrow was coming off a 2024 season where he threw for 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns. If Burrow returns in three months, the Bengals will be in either Week 15 or Week 16 of their schedule.
