For the third time in his young career, Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow has suffered an injury that could keep him out much of the season.
This time, it’s a toe injury that will require surgery and puts him on the shelf.
Burrow was hurt early in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, suffering the toe injury on a sack. He limped to the locker room and never returned.
Initially, the injury was described as turf toe with ligament damage, which was going to cost him a few weeks. But a report late Sunday night indicated that Burrow’s injury was worse than feared and now has him set to miss a minimum of three months.
