The Bengals' worst fears came true on Monday morning as, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, quarterback Joe Burrow will undergo surgery for the turf toe injury he suffered in the team's win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He will miss at least the next three months of the 2025 season.
Given the attrition at the position, and despite rostering a capable backup option in Jake Browning, Cincinnati has reportedly already begun calling around to free agent quarterbacks. Browning is currently the only signal caller on the Bengals' active roster, while veteran Brett Rypien is signed to the practice squad.
