The Bengals missed the playoffs last year despite Burrow’s strong season as he led the NFL with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns on the way to being named comeback player of the year.
However, injuries have been a recurring challenge for the 28-year-old quarterback. He tore several ligaments in his left knee in 2020 and suffered a torn wrist tape in 2023, with both injuries ending his season too early.

A message from Bengals could come as early as Monday, but it is expected that Burrow will be excluded at least for next week’s matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
