Joe Burrow damage replace from Bengals head coach Zac Taylor

Whereas Cincinnati Bengals followers wring their palms on whether or not Joe Flacco will be capable of begin on Sunday in opposition to the Bears, the workforce’s franchise quarterback continues his quest to get again on the sphere after his turf toe surgical procedure. The Bengals, sitting at 3-5 with their playoff hopes seemingly teetering on the sting of oblivion, may completely use the enhance Joe Burrow would give them.

Zac Taylor was requested about Burrow’s progress, and he had the next to say:

“He’s been good. I don’t have any updates (on the timeline). It’s gone as we had hoped,” Taylor stated Wednesday. “He’s had a terrific angle, nice vitality about him. He’s within the conferences; I met with him one-on-one. He’s been nice to be round, optimistic, and issues have been going effectively, however I don’t have any replace on the timeline.”

Whereas Taylor doesn’t have a lot to say about Burrow’s progress past the customary coach-speak, there are indicators that issues are stepping into the correct course.

Burrow was seen on the sidelines in a strolling boot in the course of the workforce’s Week 7 win over the Steelers, however within the workforce’s Week 8 loss to the Jets, he was sans boot, choosing a regular-looking shoe as an alternative. It might imply nothing, after all, and the shoewear in all probability isn’t indicative of the particular well being of the foot, but it surely looks like a step in the correct course.

Hopefully, the Bengals can keep afloat and “within the hunt” till Burrow is prepared, and hopefully that point is quickly.
