The NFL Comeback Player of the Year of 2021 and prominent quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Burrow is progressing positively from the season-ending wrist injury he suffered in a Week 11 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Burrow went through a surgery to repair a tear in the scapholunate ligament on his right wrist, which is his throwing hand. As per the report, the given period for his comeback is four to six months.
Duke Tobin who is the director of personnel for Cincinnati Bengals has recently shared updates on Burrow and he stated, “As far as I know, it’s going really well. He’s been around the building a lot, rehabbing. He’s Joe, so you know that a 100 percent effort is going to go into it. He’s focused on it. All the reports that we’ve gotten have been very positive, so we expect a full recovery and we expect him to continue being Joe.”
He further continued, “You know him, like all of the rehab guys, are in our facility there, in our weight room there, with our doctors and our trainers. And so one thing you learn is when you’re around injured players, you won’t ask him every day, ‘How you feel? how you feel?’ That gets pretty old pretty fast. And so you give them their space. I know everything’s progressing as expected. And so, as well as anybody over my six years here, I’ve made a lot of errors making proclamations about injury timelines. And so all I can say is that it’s progressing as expected. He’s doing really well. So we’re excited about this offseason with Joe and once we get closer, we’ll have a better idea.”
As per PFT, Burrow in the ten games he played last season posted 2,309 yards and with fifteen touchdowns including six interceptions. The Bengals will commence their workout program on 15th April.
