Joe Burrow left the Bengals' victory over the Jaguars early with an apparent lower-body injury, and media reports are suggesting the worst-case scenario for the quarterback and Cincinnati fans. ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the Bengals' star is expected to miss upwards of three months with surgery on his toe.
Burrow missing significant time isn't a new development for the Bengals, seeing as he has had a pair of season-ending surgeries already. The issue, however, rests with the fact that the team is 6-8 without their franchise quarterback on the field.
The Bengals just missed the AFC playoffs last season, finishing a game behind the Broncos for the seventh seed.
