The 2025 NFL season has not gone as planned for Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. Burrow has only played in five games this season, as he suffered a turf toe injury back in Week 2 which kept him sidelined for nearly three months.
With three games to go entering Week 16, the Bengals own a record of 4-10 and have been eliminated from playoff contention. Despite the underwhelming season and Burrow's continued struggles with the injury bug, the Bengals don't have any plans of shutting Burrow down at this point in time.
Bengals expect Burrow to play the final three weeks of the NFL season
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor announced the team's decision to play Burrow the rest of the way in a press conference on Monday.
