\"BREAKING:<\/p>\n

Nine weeks after suffering a turf toe injury that completely derailed his season, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow\u00a0returned to practice on Monday. While Burrow won\u2019t be suiting up this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he is making steps to reportedly return for the Bengals\u2019 Thanksgiving matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n

NFL Insider\u00a0Jordan Schultz\u00a0provided the latest on Burrow\u2019s timeline, even revealing why the organization really decided to hold onto All-Pro defensive end\u00a0Trey Hendrickson at the Trade Deadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe Burrow has officially returned to practice with the Bengals opening his 21 day window to return from IR and his turf toe injury,\u201d Schultz said. \u201cJoe is targeting a Thanksgiving Day comeback game to go up against the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore. Now listen, this is surprising. This is incredibly early. Not only because of the caliber of injury, but just the timeline we all thought, which was basically mid-December.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Burrow is way ahead of schedule and with that in mind, it gives us a real look under the hood as to why the Bengals were so hesitant to trade\u00a0Trey Hendrickson, knowing full well that he\u2019s probably on his way out after this season when he\u2019s a free agent. If you\u2019re the Bengals in the very rugged, but very winnable AFC North, and you get Burrow back by Thanksgiving or right around that day, you\u2019ll absolutely have an opportunity to make a playoff push.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burrow, who is in the midst of his sixth NFL season, suffered the turf toe injury in week two\u2019s 31-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Cincinnati. The former No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft is coming off a phenomenal 2024 campaign, in which he passed for 4,198 yards, 43 touchdowns, and was named Comeback Player of the Year for the second time. Prior to his injury this year, Burrow passed for 189 yards and two touchdowns in six quarters of play.<\/p>\n

Due to Burrow\u2019s absence, the Bengals initially turned to back-up quarterback\u00a0Jake Browning\u00a0at the position. With Browning as its starter, Cincinnati dropped four consecutive games to drop to 2-4 on the season. They then traded for former Super Bowl Champion\u00a0Joe Flacco\u00a0to take over the position, which quickly turned into a 33-31 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football.<\/p>\n

Although the Bengals would score 39 points and 47 points in their next two games with Flacco at the helm, both games were lost due to poor defense. It appears now that Flacco will lead the organization into its upcoming games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots before Burrow returns for the aforementioned Thanksgiving game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be better, plain and simple. There\u2019s no excuse for where we are right now. We need to hold ourselves accountable and make the necessary changes, because this isn\u2019t acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buffalo\u2019s Road to Redemption: How to Fix the Sabres?<\/strong><\/p>\n
