Joe Burrow has been out of action since suffering a turf toe injury in Week 2, and he exited the game midway for the Cincinnati Bengals. It was a Grade 3 injury and he underwent surgery. Burrow is expected to be absent for at least three months, but Fox Sports' Jay Glazer feels that it could be longer than that.

More than three months?

“They’re saying three months, I don’t see three months being an actual timeline. I think more so [Burrow has] a chance [to return] if they make the playoffs, but only because it’s Joe Burrow. Somebody else, I’d say no. But he has that Mamba Mentality, maybe yes. It’s such a difficult injury to return from,” he said.
