Bengals Need to Find Their Way on Offense without Burrow After Being Dominated Again

Joe Burrow requires surgery for a Grade 3 turf toe injury and will miss at least three months, leaving the Bengals with one of the NFL's worst offenses, averaging 205.3 yards per game.

  • Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, suffered a Grade 3 turf toe in Week 2 requiring surgery and a minimum three-month recovery, sidelining him until around Week 16 in late December.
  • After the hit, Burrow remained on the field and needed help getting to the sideline, then Cincinnati's medical staff assisted him to the locker room.
  • Cincinnati has scored 13 points and one touchdown in 8 quarters, while Jake Browning has 506 yards, 3 TDs, and 5 INTs through 3 games.
  • Coach Zac Taylor defended his backup, saying `I feel very confident in Jake,' Taylor said, while the Bengals front office considers five trade targets listed by CBS's John Breech.
  • Observers caution the injury could end Burrow's season, while Kevin Durant expressed optimism that Burrow will 'bounce back' next year and noted return depends on Bengals' 2025 competitiveness.
