“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.”

Even though the Bengals are 3-8 on the season, Joe Burrow wants to be back on the field despite a notion that he should just be shut down for the rest of the year.

Joe Burrow hinted at his return to quarterback with a cryptic post on Instagram on Monday, Nov. 24, roughly two months after suffering a turf toe injury during the Bengals-Jaguars game on Sept. 15.
