Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a left toe injury in the first half of his side’s match against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Despite Burrow’s injury, the Bengals managed to win Sunday’s home game 31-27 against the Jaguars. Burrow had to be helped off the field after enduring the injury. Jeremy Rauch of Fox 19 claimed that “Burrow is believed to have turf toe with torn ligaments”.

Joe Burrow injury update

Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that, having dealt with a turf toe injury, Burrow “could require surgery”. An article published by the outlet reported that pictures of Burrow’s left toe injury were being sent to foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson. As per ESPN, if a surgery is considered necessary, it may leave Burrow sidelined for around three months.

Needless to say, an injury-enforced layoff for Burrow would be a big loss for the Bengals, who are 2-0 and currently occupy the top spot in the AFC North. This has been the Bengals’ first 2-0 start in seven years.

In the game against the Jaguars, Burrow was injured with 8:36 remaining in the second quarter. Burrow was initially seen limping as he attempted to walk off the field. But he went down on the turf and after several minutes, the American quarterback tried to walk to the locker room. But Burrow failed and he had to ask for assistance from athletic trainers.
