CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said there is no update on when star quarterback Joe Burrow will undergo surgery.
Burrow, who was put on the Injured Reserve (IR) list Tuesday, needs surgery to repair the Grade 3 turf toe injury he suffered in Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Burrow is expected to be out at least three months, according to The Athletic‘s Dianna Russini.

After the Bengals put Burrow on IR Tuesday, Cincinnati made several roster moves.
Quarterback Brett Rypien was signed to the Bengals’ active roster.
Cincinnati also signed quarterbacks Sean Clifford and Mike White to the practice squad.
With Burrow out, Jake Browning assumes the starting quarterback role starting this week against the Minnesota Vikings.
Browning, 29, is no stranger to leading Cincinnati’s offense.
Aside from orchestrating Sunday’s comeback win against Jacksonville, Browning has won four of the seven games he’s started for the Bengals.
In 2023, Browning took over as Cincinnati’s starting quarterback when Burrow suffered a season-ending injury.
He threw for 11 touchdowns in the seven games he started that season. Browning also had three games with more than 300 yards passing in that stretch.
