The announcement Joe Burrow will have reconstructive knee surgery this week means he should be ready for the beginning of the 2021 season.

Multiple reports came out on Monday led by Ian Rapoport of NFL.Com that Bengals franchise quarterback Joe Burrow is expected to have reconstructive knee surgery this week. The expectation that the recovery time for Burrow will be nine months puts him on pace to be ready to start the 2021 NFL season.

Burrow tore his ACL, MCL and had other structural damage done to his knee from a hit taken against the Washington Football team last month.
