Burrow has battled injury again this season, but his toughness is still receiving high praise from opponents.
The 2025 NFL season has not gone as planned for Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. Burrow suffered a turf toe injury back in Week 2 and was forced to miss nearly 3 months of time as he recovered from surgery. The Bengals missed him dearly, as they won just 1 of 9 games in his absence. Burrow returned to the field on November 27th, and despite the Bengals being eliminated from playoff contention, the franchise no plans to sit him during the finals 2 weeks of the regular season.
