Could Bengals QB Joe Burrow be out the entire preseason?

Burrow had an appendectomy back on July 27 and was expected to miss anywhere from one to four weeks. Given the elder Burrow's comments and how tight-lipped the team has been about when he will return, it's looking more likely that Burrow will miss a month.

Of course, the length of Burrow's absence casts questions on whether he will get a preseason game in before the 2022 campaign kicks off on Sept. 11. The Bengals' final preseason tuneup is slated for Aug. 27 -- one month after the surgery -- and is a rematch of last year's Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams. 

Whether or not he is able to take any preseason snaps, Burrow has been a visible figure at Bengals training camp even though he can't participate yet. The starting quarterback has been a hit on social media since footage emerged of him driving around the practice field in a golf cart.
