But when you go deep on the injury, it’s easy to see why Burrow won’t return before the holidays at best.

“It’s a disturbance or injury with the tissues on the underside of the big toe. And it’s really, really critical, because every time we walk, run, throw, swing a baseball bat, whatever it is, said the last contact point with the foot and ground in the big toe,” Tom Christ, a doctor in physical therapy that also founded his own site, fantasy injury Digital. “And no matter what about the activities I just named to do, the power comes from the bottom up through the arm. So you have to be able to turn off the foot and especially the big toe with running, even just basic walk.

“Turf toe is a disruption to those tissues to where they are no liager restraining the toe from just extending all the way upwards, and therefore, they are no longer providing a firm base of push-off. to do it, but let’s just say that pain wasn’t the problem here, his toe would just continue to extend all the way into the rest of his foot, so he would have a solid base of something to push.

Christ admittedly admitted that he was “kind of” offended by such an apparently non-serious name for a serious injury, but there is a reason why Turf Toe received his name.

“The thing is, the artificial turf doesn’t have the same give. Traditional grass, underneath it is dirt or mud, depending on what the weather’s bee like. So if you watch this video, you literally see his left toe, the cleat yukht in the turf. Plausible to say that he would have such a significant injure if he was playing on grass.

Christ said that a potential three-month return would be “aggressive” but “not impossible”, adding that the Bengals could have a pretty optimistic timeline because it is his left toe, not his right, as he will be able to push out just fine with his right foot. His attitude also helps the matter.

“Out of any position in football is a quarterback the position that could probably return the fastest with his injury. …” he said. “Being a position that makes the least amount of sprinting – of course he has to be mobile in his pocket so that burrow could play on, like half his mobility. Just the offensive line, I mean it might not go so well, but it could be done.

“So 12 weeks is aggressive, but it’s not completely out of question.”
