Joe Burrow Back on Field for Thanksgiving Game
26 Nov
Summary
- Joe Burrow returns to play on Thanksgiving night after toe surgery.
- He plays against the Baltimore Ravens, a division rival.
- Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase also returns after suspension.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow confirmed his return for the Thanksgiving night game against the Baltimore Ravens. Burrow, who underwent surgery for a turf toe injury on September 19, is making his comeback nearly a month ahead of his projected recovery timeline.
Burrow expressed his commitment to playing when healthy, stating he wouldn't hold back out of fear. He participated in practice drills, including with the first-team offense, to reacclimate to game speed. While he was cleared to play last week, the team opted for caution, a decision Burrow supported.
The Bengals, currently 3-8, will also see the return of wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase after his one-game suspension. However, Tee Higgins will be sidelined due to a concussion. Burrow anticipates the rivalry game against the 5-6 Ravens, who have won five consecutive games.
