Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is coming off a spectacular 2025 NFL season that could’ve easily earned him an MVP award had his team qualified for the postseason.
Now, all the questions surrounding him have been about his wrist.
Despite coming off a career year that saw him finish fourth in the MVP voting, Burrow said last month that his right wrist still isn’t all the way back to where it was before he had season-ending surgery in November 2023.
It was a somewhat surprising response given how well Burrow played last year.
“We’re getting there,” he said.
“I think I’m learning new things every single day and refining my motion, refining everything about what I’m doing out there.
“That’s exciting for me to feel that improvement,” he continued. “That’s what keeps you coming back, improving. It sucks when you’re working really hard and you’re not seeing any improvement. But if you’re working smart, then you usually do. And that’s pretty addicting.”
Now, renowned doctor Jesse Morse is giving an update on Joe Burrow.
After revealing his previous comments during the club’s mandatory minicamp last month, Morse added that Burrow was able to have a spectacular 2024 campaign “in spite of the fact that he still wasn’t 100% recovered from his wrist injury/surgery from 2023.”
Morse added that “the scary part is that Burrow should now be closer to 100% healed and could have an even better season in 2025 than he had in 2024.”
