What is turf toe? Doctor explains injury that will sideline Joe Burrow for months
Joe Burrow will undergo surgery for a Grade 3 turf toe injury, sidelining him at least three months and prompting the Bengals to seek additional quarterback depth.
- Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, sustained a turf toe injury during the second quarter of the Sept. 14, 2025 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Cincinnati.
- The injury involves a partially torn ligament with bruising, which commonly requires several weeks to heal but Burrow is scheduled for surgery, likely sidelining him longer.
- The Bengals, who started 2-0 for the first time since 2018, face a tough stretch with five straight playoff-bound opponents, making Burrow's absence a notable setback.
- Coach Zac Taylor stated, "I don't know what a toe rehab looks like," and confirmed Burrow will do everything possible to return, while Jake Browning will start in his place.
- Burrow's surgery is expected to sideline him for about three months, posing a significant challenge to Cincinnati's postseason hopes given his key role.
