Cincinnati Bengals starting quarterback Joe Burrow was asked Nov. 25 about his team's chances to reach the NFL playoffs as he expects to return to action Thanksgiving night against the Ravens in Baltimore.

Joe Burrow is expected to make his return to the field this Thanksgiving when his Cincinnati Bengals travel to take on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Burrow suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury back in Week 2 that required surgery, but he returned to practice two weeks ago and will return to help Cincinnati dig out of a 3-8 hole.

CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will play on Thursday night against the Ravens, just 69 days after undergoing surgery on his left big toe. The 28-year-old suffered a grade 3 turf toe injury. He was expected to be out until mid-December. Some thought he'd miss the entire season. Burrow never felt that way.

Joe Burrow hasn't played since the second game of the season because of a toe injury but appears on track to take the field for Thursday's showdown against the Baltimore Ravens.

“I’m not gonna ever go to somebody and say ‘I’m healthy, but I don’t think I should go out there and play,’” Burrow said. “That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I’m not gonna live my life and play this game, scared of something happening. Yeah, something’s gonna happen. It’s football.”

Deciding who fantasy football owners should start on Thanksgiving Day between Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow for the Ravens-Bengals matchup.
