Joe Burrow’s Latest Injury Update Should Serve As Some Good News For Bengals Fans

When Joe Burrow appeared to twist up his knee during Super Bowl 56, the entire sports world held its collective breath.

Not only is Burrow one of the most popular players in the entire league, but he’s already coming off a long ACL recovery during the 2020 season.

After being hit low, Joe Burrow was able to limp off the field and would stay in for the duration of the gutting loss.

But luckily for Bengals fans (and the entire NFL), the x-rays on Joe Burrow’s knee have come back clean, and he will not be needing surgery.

#Bengals QB Joe Burrow suffered a knee injury in the Super Bowl that won't require surgery, sources say, based on initial tests. He’ll have to rehab, but the sprain shouldn’t drastically alter his offseason.

After hearing this news, it’s easy to see Joe Burrow having an added edge for his rehab and offseason regimen following the Super Bowl loss.

In his sophomore season, Burrow went from a good QB, to one of the very best players in the entire league.

Going forward, the Bengals will need to shore up their offensive line to protect their star quarterback, but it’s hard to imagine that we won’t see Joe Burrow back in the Super Bowl at some point during his career.
