Joe Burrow returned to practice for the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday. He was required to cross a road in the cold and snow while heading from the stadium to the team facility.
The organization really doesn’t want you to know!
Most NFL teams have their practice fields attached to either their game stadium or to the team facility and their locker rooms are not far from the gridiron. Not in the Queen City.
Burrow returned to practice in a limited capacity on Monday. This surprising update comes less than two months after he was placed on Injured Reserve with Grade 3 turf toe.
The initial diagnosis did not sound good. Most medical experts did not expect him to return to activity this early, if at all. There was a good chance he was going to miss the entire year. There still is.
However, his rehab has reportedly gone much better (and faster) than expected.
“Last week Joe Burrow told me he’s returning wayyyy sooner than was expected and gave me the timeline of ‘Thanksgiving-ish,'” said Jay Glazer.
The Bengals officially opened Burrow’s 21-day window to be activated off of injury reserve on Monday. He can now practice for three weeks without counting against the 53-man roster.
It will be a slow build back to full participation.
