The information has been provided before Head coach Zac Taylor Monday morning (24).

Prize winner NFL Player of the Year 24/25 injured his toe in Week 2 of this season when he was tackled by Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead midway through the second quarter of the game.

Initially, he was expected to recover for three months, but the midfielder returned faster than expected, looking for a direct playoff spot for the AFC North division title. The Bengals and Ravens are three wins away, and the two teams have yet to face each other twice this year.

Cincinnati Bengals so far

Although Joe Burrow was injured in the first half, his backup, Jake Browning, who struggled, ensured the Bengals’ victory over the Jaguars. After seven years, the team was able to start the season with two victories.

But an injury to the team’s key player dampened the team’s euphoria, and for good reason. A retrospective of Cincinnati’s disastrous season, with a 3-8 campaign and last place in the division.

It was necessary to bring in new backup Joe Flacco, who was with the division rival Cleveland Browns, to try to salvage the season, which resulted in a one-up win after an injury for the QB against the Steelers, also their division rival.

In a press conference held on Tuesday (25), Joe Burrow was asked about the option of returning to play quickly, with the possibility of being injured again in an almost lost season. In response, the midfielder said he should not live in fear of what may or may not happen. He also realizes that it is his profession and he cannot deny practicing it.

Doubt arises after the Bengals did not reach the 2025 playoffs, after a great season from Burrow and Jamar Chase, due to a bad season for their defense.

This season, Cincinnati is the team with the worst average of yards and points given up per game, according to ESPN data.

The duo of Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase

The quarterback reunites with his partner, friend and college teammate Ja’Marr Chase, the Bengals’ wide receiver, who was suspended for one game for spitting in an opponent’s face, in Week 11, against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The duo played together for the LSU Tigers in college, where they both broke records and were 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship champions.

Joe Burrow was the tournament’s MVP and surpassed 5,600 yards and 60 touchdowns, the current league record. The wide receiver received 20 TDs, becoming the record at the time, but was surpassed by DeVonta Smith the following year.

In the 2024/25 NFL season, Chase totaled 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns, when he played for Burrow in a year where injuries were not an issue. The WR became the fifth player to win the Triple Crown, being the leader in receptions, yards and TDs at the position.

This season, even without a quality QB in most games, Chase has already gained 861 yards.
