CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow, the quarterback for the Bengals, is having surgery on his right wrist this afternoon.
The 26-year-old’s ligament was torn during Cincinnati’s defeat by Baltimore in Week 11.
Burrow will miss the rest of the 2023 season, but he is expected to recover fully and is scheduled to return to the team this week.
The Cincinnati Bengals have been plagued by injuries this season, which has left them with a 5-6 record and outside the postseason picture. Logan Wilson was injured near the end of the Week 12 game, Joe Burrow is out for the season, Tee Higgins has missed several games due to a hamstring injury, and Cam Taylor-Britt sustained a concussion in Week 11.
