Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow to make preseason debut, eight months after knee surgery

CINCINNATI - Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will make his preseason debut this Sunday.

Burrow is expected to get a limited number of snaps against Miami, Bengals coach Zac Taylor said on Wednesday. The top overall pick in the 2020 draft missed the first two exhibition games while he continued to recover from left knee surgery last December.

"We gotta do what's best for Joe, what's best for the team," Taylor said. "We felt like this is what fits best."

Burrow was cleared for football activities in July. Before the team's training camp started, Taylor and team president Mike Brown initially indicated Burrow was not going to play in the preseason.
