CINCINNATI -- Of all the things that happened during the Cincinnati Bengals' first practice of training camp on Wednesday, one development mattered more than anything.
Joe Burrow felt great.
A black brace supporting Burrow’s surgically-repaired left knee was the only indicator that the quarterback was a little more than eight months removed from a season-ending injury. Aside from that, Burrow went through all the usual motions that indicate the regular season is a few weeks away.
He lined up under center. He participated in 11-on-11 drills. He rolled out of the pocket with no issues.
