Bengals show QB Joe Burrow throwing for first time this offseason following wrist surgery

This is the first visual evidence of Burrow throwing since he suffered a season-ending right wrist injury last November. Burrow underwent surgery for his throwing wrist about five months ago. 

Burrow's timeline of recovery put him on track to throw again leading up to the Bengals' offseason schedule. He told ESPN's Ben Baby back in March that the middle of May was when he expects to be "cleared for full contact."

It should be noted that mandatory minicamp hasn't begun just yet. The team's rookie minicamp isn't even scheduled until Friday of this week. The team has been conducting offseason workouts every so often for the past few weeks. 

This also isn't the first time Burrow has actually thrown since the surgery, just the first time we've seen it with our eyes. 

Every update Burrow, head coach Zac Taylor, and director of player personnel Duke Tobin provided regarding the 27-year old's recovery has been positive, and put him on track to be a full participant for the offseason program. 

Now that we've seen Burrow throw again, his path to recovery looks to be nearly complete, if it's not already.
