Cincinnati Bengals to Play Without Joe Burrow for Upcoming Game Against Minnesota

In a significant blow to the Bengals, their franchise quarterback Joe Burrow will be sidelined for the game against Minnesota on Sunday. Burrow was officially placed on injured reserve on Tuesday, following a turf toe injury he sustained on September 14.

The Bengals coach, Zac Taylor, has stated that he cannot provide a more precise timeline for Burrow's return. However, based on current reports, the surgery is expected to take place within a three-month timeline, making Burrow ineligible to play the next four games due to NFL rules for players assigned to injured reserve.

Jake Browning, who has played in the Bengals' system for a long time, will take over as the starting quarterback for the upcoming game. Browning has expressed his confidence in the team's offensive weapons and his readiness to step up in Burrow's absence.

Browning made his mark in the Bengals' previous game against the Jaguars, delivering a game-winning drive despite throwing three interceptions. He has also stated that he will voice his opinion on the game plan but ultimately it will be what Joe Burrow wants.

The Bengals are currently 2-0 in their schedule without Burrow, and they are preparing to continue their winning streak with Browning at the helm. Despite the challenging circumstances, coach Zac Taylor intends for Burrow to return after the surgery.

The Bengals and Browning will face a tough test against the Minnesota Vikings, who are currently 1-1 in their season. The game promises to be an exciting contest, with both teams showcasing their resilience and determination.

As the Bengals navigate this challenging period without their star quarterback, they will undoubtedly rely on their team spirit, camaraderie, and the collective strength of their players to continue their winning streak. The team's fans will be eagerly watching the game, hoping for another victory and a speedy recovery for Joe Burrow.
