Joe Burrow

Joe Burrow is expected to play in the Bengals’ first preseason game against the Bucs.

The oft-injured Burrow, who missed most of the 2023 season’s second half with a wrist injury, has thrown a grand total of one preseason pass in his NFL career. “I’m excited for it,” said Burrow, who was fully cleared to practice in late July. “I’m excited to get these reps and have these reps to get better right now.” He added playing in the preseason will give him an “opportunity to get hit.” Burrow likely won’t play more than a couple series before Jake Browning or Logan Woodside take over under center.
