The latest update on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow sounds quite a bit like the last one.
And that’s a good thing.
Speaking with reporters at the NFL’s annual meetings this week, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor gave a similar, positive update on Burrow’s recovery from the season-ending wrist injury.
“It’s positive,” Taylor said, according to ESPN’s Brady Henderson (h/t Ben Baby). “It’s right on schedule, and so we’re encouraged with everything we thought it was going to be and where he’s going to fit into our offseason.”
That’s in line with everything members of the organization and Burrow himself have said publicly over the last few months.
Burrow had recently suggested that his target to get back throwing is mid-May, which would mean right around the team’s organized activities.
Interestingly, Burrow also revealed that he’s considering changes to his offseason working training regiment in response to recent injuries.
Barring something unexpected, the next major Burrow update should be around the time of the draft when coaches and team personnel get in front of microphones again. Then, May, Burrow’s expected date to ramp up.
