Joe Cool suffered a turf toe injury to his left foot during the second quarter of the Bengals&rsquo; Week 2 matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nfl\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>. The injury occurred when he was sacked by defensive lineman Arik Armstead, causing his cleat to stick in the turf as he fell awkwardly. <\/p><p>Despite Burrow&rsquo;s early exit, the Bengals rallied to a 31-27 victory. Backup quarterback Jake Browning stepped in seamlessly, orchestrating a crucial 92-yard touchdown drive in the final minute to secure the win. This refusal to lose highlighted the team&rsquo;s depth and preparation, turning a potential collapse into a hard-fought win against a tough Jaguars defense.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zac Taylor Refuses To Share Update on Joe Burrow Injury<\/h2><p>While the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nfl\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Bengals <\/a>won the game, showing resilience, we all knew that the focal point of the postgame interview will be Joe Burrow&rsquo;s injury and his return timeline.

However, the latest update has now confirmed that the Bengals&rsquo; signal caller will have to undergo surgery and take things from there. As per the timeline, Burrow is expected to be back only in mid-December, which means the regular season will be nearing the end at that point. <\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DOm5ZHlDvUu\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
