Joe Burrow Sets Timetable for Wrist Recovery, Bengals Bolster Offense
Quarterback's Return and Team's Acquisitions Raise Hopes
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has provided an optimistic timetable for his recovery from a torn wrist ligament that prematurely ended his 2023 season after only 10 games. "I think middle of May is when," Burrow remarked about his projected return date.
Simultaneously, the Bengals are enhancing their arsenal around Burrow. Tight end Erick All expressed unwavering enthusiasm to join forces with the star quarterback. "It's crazy just hearing that," exclaimed All, a former standout at Iowa.
Burrow recently finalized a hefty five-year, $275 million contract extension with the Bengals, boasting a guaranteed $219.01 million. The deal elevated him to the status of the NFL's highest-paid player, according to sources.
Continuing Evolution and Future Aspirations
Burrow's unwavering drive to elevate his game as the Bengals' franchise quarterback was evident during Thursday's training session, where he showcased a more robust physique. The quarterback's relentless pursuit of improvement bodes well for the team's future.
Burrow has also advocated for the addition of a bye week to the NFL schedule if the regular season expands to 18 games. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged Burrow's suggestion during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
