Joe Burrow undergoes successful wrist surgery; Bengals QB is expected to make full recovery

For the second time, Joe Burrow has undergone in-season surgery. The Bengals’ Pro Bowl quarterback, who was lost for the year after injuring his right wrist in Week 11, underwent surgery Monday. 

The Bengals issued the following statement regarding Burrow’s surgery: 

“Joe Burrow underwent successful surgery on his wrist today. The procedure went as planned and he is expected to make a complete recovery. 

Joe will return to Cincinnati this week to be with the team and begin the recovery and rehab process.” 

Specifically, Burrow tore a ligament in his right wrist during Cincinnati’s loss to the Ravens on Nov. 16. The injury occurred just before halftime. Jake Browning replaced Burrow, who missed the remainder of the game after experiencing pain while trying to throw on the sideline. 

It was barely 12 hours after that game when the Bengals announced that Burrow’s injury was season-ending. Like his rookie season in 2020, Burrow’s season-ending injury occurred 10 games into the season. Burrow’s rookie season ended with a knee injury that was sustained during a loss to Washington. 

“Just going to treat it like anything else,” Burrow said a day after sustaining his latest injury, via The Athletic. “You analyze the situation. You go through the process of what it’s going to take to get back and you go and do it. That’s all you can do.”
