Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow was struck by the injury bug yet again this season. In Week 2 Burrow suffered a turf toe injury against the Jaguars that was so severe he underwent surgery to repair it last week. It was an awful twist of fate for Cincinnati and Burrow, who is one of the most exciting players in the NFL when he's right.
On Friday, Burrow gave his first public comments since surgery in the form of an Instagram post. It was an emotional message that ended with, perhaps, a dose of optimism depending on how one reads it.
