Bengals Beat: Joe Burrow Returns to Practice, 21-Day Clock Starts On Return to 53-man Roster

CINCINNATI — Start the clock ticking on Joe Burrow.

The Bengals on Monday took the next step in the return of their franchise quarterback by allowing him to return to practice on a limited basis so he can begin progressing to on-field activities.

Burrow has been on injured reserve since Sept. 16 after injuring the left big toe in the second quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Monday starts a 21-day period during which he may begin limited practice with the team without counting against the 53-player active roster. He is eligible to be activated to the roster during the 21-day period.
