Surgery coming for Joe Burrow? Turf toe injury could sideline him 3 months By: Mike Krueger | Sep 15 2025, 8:32 am
ESPN sources: Bengals QB Joe Burrow will need toe surgery that will sideline him a minimum of three months. The Bengals have been calling around to other free-agent quarterbacks since after Joe Burrow’s injury, knowing they will have to add at least one more to their roster. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take:Burrow left the Bengals' Week 2 game against the Jaguars in the 2nd quarter with a turf toe injury. If surgery is required, this would be a lost season for Cincinnati's star quarterback. At best, he could return in mid-December. Jake Browning will be the starting QB for the foreseeable future and be an option for QB-needy teams on the waiver wire.
