Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will undergo surgery on his injured toe and is expected to miss at least three months, league sources told The Athletic on Monday.
Burrow left Sunday’s 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second quarter and did not return. After the game, he passed through the locker room in a walking boot with crutches.
Head coach Zac Taylor is expected to provide a further update on Burrow’s health Monday afternoon.
In Burrow’s absence, backup Jake Browning led the Bengals to a come-from-behind victory over the Jags, completing 21 of 32 passes for 241 yards and two passing touchdowns. His 1-yard QB sneak sealed the win with 18 seconds remaining.
Burrow was 7 for 13 for 76 yards and a touchdown when he left the game.
