<\/p>\n

The Cincinnati Bengals have returned to the era of having a Joe at quarterback.<\/p>\n

The problem right now is that it’s 40-year old Joe Flacco instead of in-his-prime, face-of-the-franchise Joe Burrow.<\/p>\n

Flacco will make his second start for the Bengals on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers to open Week 7.<\/p>\n

Burrow remains out after toe surgery.<\/p>\n

But if Cincinnati can turn things around, there’s a chance Burrow can make it back on the field this season.<\/p>\n

Is Joe Burrow out for the season?<\/h2>\n

No, Joe Burrow has not been ruled out for the season.<\/p>\n

His recovery from turf toe surgery was expected to take multiple months, but it didn’t line up to eliminate him from playing eventually in 2025.<\/p>\n

When is Joe Burrow coming back?<\/h2>\n

Burrow was expected to miss a minimum of three months with his injury, per multiple reports.<\/p>\n

His surgery took place in mid-September, which lines up mid-December as the on-time return point.<\/p>\n

Bengals coach Zac Taylor hasn’t given any concrete updates since the surgery.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati will need to stay in the playoff race to risk getting Burrow back on the field. Entering Week 7, the Bengals are just 2-4, not having won since Burrow was injured.<\/p>\n
