Bengals QB Joe Burrow Ruled Out Against Patriots

Burrow will remain on injured reserve, two months removed from surgery to repair Grade 3 turf toe.

He was a full participant in 11-on-11 drills during practice while Flacco nursed a shoulder injury.

Burrow, 28, was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in 2020 by the Bengals out of LSU. He signed a four-year, $36,190,137 rookie contract that includes a $23,880,100 signing bonus.

Burrow was set to earn a base salary of $1,010,000 in 2023. The Bengals already picked up his fifth-year option for the 2024 season when they signed him to a record five-year, $275 million extension. 

In 2025, Burrow has appeared in two games and completed 21 of 36 passes for 189 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions.
