Source: Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow to have appendectomy

CINCINNATI - Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will have an appendectomy, a source confirmed to ESPN.

A timetable for the procedure remains unclear but is likely to be within the next 48 hours, according to a source familiar with the procedure.

The NFL Network was first to report news of Burrow's impending procedure.

Cincinnati's veterans reported to practice on Tuesday ahead of the team's first official training camp practice on Wednesday.

The medical situation comes during the acclimation period of training camp. Teams are not permitted to have line contact through the first five days of camp, according to the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players' union.
