Joe Burrow will not be placed on PUP list

That means, of course, that Burrow will be leading his troops when camp beings on Tuesday, and he will seek to build upon what was a promising rookie campaign. Despite dealing with a porous offensive line, Burrow completed 65.3% of his passes for 13 touchdowns against five interceptions in his ten games last season.

Cincinnati reunited him with former LSU teammate Ja’Marr Chase, generally considered the top receiver in this year’s class. Between him, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd, Burrow has a loaded receiving corps to work with.

Hopefully, they’ve done enough to protect him up front as well. Free agent Riley Reiff should help on the O-Line front, but the Bengals are also counting on a lot of protection out of rookie blockers Jackson Carman, D’Ante Smith, and Trey Hill. They also re-upped Quinton Spain this year and claimed Lamont Gaillard off waivers from the Cardinals. With added protection for Burrow and running back Joe Mixon, the Bengals offense could be among the league’s best in 2021.
