Joe Burrow Returning to Practice This Week
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have advanced quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) for a limited return to practice on Monday so that he can start progressing to on-field activities. It's a major step towards playing again later this year, and the Bengals can technically activate him from Injured Reserve anytime within the next 21 days. Burrow's recovery from turf-toe surgery is on track, but the expectation is that he won't return until around mid-December, at the earliest. So fantasy managers who have been stashing the former first overall pick might be disappointed when all is said and done. The 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowler played in just two games earlier this season before suffering a Grade 3 turf-toe injury that required surgery. The Bengals went with Jake Browning initially as Burrow's replacement before acquiring veteran Joe Flacco in a trade with Cleveland. Flacco will continue to serve as Cincy's starting QB until Burrow is cleared. UPDATE: Head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow won't play in Week 11 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers.
