Cincinnati Bengals Star Quarterback Joe Burrow comes out of a season where he led NFL in passers -by yards and touchdowns – and he wasn’t 100% healthy.
During a recent performance at Barstool Sports’ “Forgive My Take,” Burrow, 28, was asked how his wrist was during this last season after having surgery on it in November 2023 to repair a torn ligament.
“Every time you have a ligament damage, your LED takes about two years to get all mobility back and everything you want you to need,” he said.

Despite not being two years removed from the operation and not having “all mobility back”, Burrow was great for Bengals this season.
He finished in fourth place in the NFL MVP race, where the former LSU star completed over 70% of his passers -by, despite having the most care attempts in the NFL.
The two-time pro bowler gathered 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns while playing in all 17 games.

There were times during the season when Burrow’s surgically repaired wrist that is on his casting did not feel so good.
“It feels good right now there were a couple of times I fell on it during the year, it didn’t feel quite as good I would say. Sort of just dependent on the day but we got into a good routine at the end of The year to feel as good as I could before Sunday, ”he said.
The Bengals missed the closing game of 9-8. They won their last five games of the season, but dug too deep by a hole to climb out in time.

Burrow said that having a season where he can train and not focus on rehabilitation will be useful.
“I think it will just help me the year.
Since Burrow has a full season to train, Bengals fans can only dream of what their franchise -quarterback can do next season while closer to fully healthy.
