Even though Bengals coach Zac Taylor hasn’t officially announced that Joe Burrow is starting on Thursday vs. the Ravens to mark his first play action since Week 2, all signs are leading to the quarterback making his return on Thanksgiving. Burrow himself even seemed to tease the decision.
Burrow suffered a grade 3 turf toe injury and underwent surgery after his Week 2 injury. He was originally predicted to return in December, but his recovery is ahead of schedule. So, of course, Burrow’s been asked a lot about whether he’s concerned about re-aggravating his injury and causing more harm to his body. It's a salient question, especially since another quarterback, Brock Purdy, came back from the injury and reaggravated it earlier this season only to have to sit out for even longer.
