Joe Burrow is healing as scheduled following a very rare wrist injury he suffered in the middle of last season. The Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback is hoping to come back for the 2024 season fully healthy and ready to go.
The rehab is going as planned, Burrow revealed, and he should be ready to go for training camp. It is amazing news that Burrow is on schedule after it was reported by numerous doctors that his injury could be life altering.
Joe Burrow Comments On Healing His Wrist Injury
Burrow suffered the injury on Nov. 16 in the previous season and he had to miss the entirety of the rest of the year due to this injury. He had to undergo surgery for the injury and he has since been taking it very slow from the surgery. He is clearly taking his time when it comes to this injury as it is a slow process to get the wrist feeling strong again.
He told reporters that he expects to be fully clear by May:
“I think middle of May is when I am expecting to kind of be cleared for full contact and everything,” Burrow told ESPN’s Ben Baby. “Over the next month [to] month and a half, we’ll kind of decide all those things.”
With Joe Burrow healthy, this Bengals team knows that the sky is the limit on what they can do next year. Burrow has proven he is the only quarterback playing in the game today that can take down Patrick Mahomes on a very consistent basis. This is great news for the NFL to have one of the best quarterbacks getting back to action.
