Bengals QB Joe Burrow Sustains Turf Toe Injury, May Miss Three Months

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury during a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which may require surgery and could sideline him for approximately three months. The injury occurred in the second quarter when Burrow was sacked and fell awkwardly under other players, leading to a painful toe injury. After initially trying to walk off the field, Burrow needed assistance and was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the game, being seen on crutches and a walking boot afterward. Backup quarterback Jake Browning took over and led the Bengals to a comeback victory. Burrow’s history of leg injuries and previous surgeries heightens concern about his long-term health and the Bengals’ reliance on him as a key player. The team is awaiting specialist review of the injury images to determine the exact treatment, while Burrow's health remains critical to Cincinnati's hopes of contending for a title.
