With the latest update from Cincinnati, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is back in action, successfully activated off injured reserve this Wednesday.
Burrow underwent surgery for a turf toe injury on September 19 and has missed nine critical games. His early return, nearly a month ahead of expectations, is a significant boost for the Bengals.
The team, currently sitting at a disappointing 3-8, has struggled without Burrow, losing eight of nine contests in his absence. Last week, he resumed practice, participating actively in both scout team drills and first-team offense sessions during 11-on-11 practices.
In addition to Burrow’s return, the Bengals announced the activation of safety Daijahn Anthony from injured reserve. Anthony had been sidelined for the first 11 games due to a hamstring injury. However, cornerback Marco Wilson has now been placed on injured reserve after suffering his own hamstring injury during Sunday’s close 26-20 defeat to New England.
