Joe Burrow Injury Update: Bengals QB Faces Surgery for Wrist Ligament Tear
Cincinnati Signals Projected Recovery Timeline
Joe Burrow, the dynamic quarterback who led the Bengals to the 2022 Super Bowl and last season's AFC title game, has sustained a torn ligament in his wrist that will likely require surgery, the team announced.
Prognosis for Recovery
According to Burrow, he anticipates being cleared for full activity by mid-May. This timeline suggests that he is expected to recover in time for the start of the 2023 NFL season.
Burrow's Impact on the Bengals
In 2022, Burrow was a top-5 MVP finalist after an impressive season where he threw for 4,475 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. His injury is a significant setback for the Bengals, who rely heavily on his leadership and exceptional playmaking abilities.
The Bengals made it to back-to-back AFC championships for the first time in franchise history with a healthy Joe Burrow in 2021 and 2022. His absence from the lineup will pose a significant challenge for the team as they navigate the upcoming season.
Coach Taylor's Statement
"Joe is a tough kid," said Bengals coach Zac Taylor. "He's going to do everything he can to get back as soon as possible, but we're going to make sure he's 100% before he steps back on the field."
