Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said he remains on track for the start of the 2021 season.
In an interview with "The Cris Collinsworth Podcast featuring Richard Sherman," Burrow said he is "ahead of schedule" following reconstructive knee surgery to repair injuries that ended his rookie season. He said he should be ready for the team's season opener.
"I'm expecting to be there on the first snap of 2021," Burrow said on the podcast, which was released on Tuesday.
Burrow's comments are believed to be his first public statements since January, one month after the surgery to repair the ACL and MCL ligaments in his left knee.
