Cincinnati Bengals franchise quarterback Joe Burrow is set for wrist surgery on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports citing sources. The expectation that Burrow will make a full recovery for the 2024 season. Head coach Zac Taylor clarified to reporters on Nov. 20 that Burrow's 2023 season is over, regardless of how far the Bengals potentially advance in the playoffs if they were to qualify.

As the Bengals face the Steelers today in their first game without Burrow, the league is also investigating if Cincinnati should have listed Burrow on its injury report prior to its game against the Ravens on Nov. 16. Burrow was shown on social media leading up to the game, appearing to wear an apparatus on his right wrist.

Sources familiar with the organization say the Bengals have turned in hours of footage to the NFL showing that Burrow was healthy prior to the game. According to those who have seen the footage, Burrow threw the ball normally during practice, without a brace and took all of his normal reps. It also includes documentation from medical personnel stating Burrow's injury was "acute," as Taylor has explained. It was not, the doctors say, an injury that happened over time, sources say.

Based on information turned over by the Bengals, Burrow received no treatment before practice and missed no time in preparation for the game against the Ravens, sources say.

The NFL declined to comment on its investigation.

Burrow told reporters on Nov. 17 that he was wearing a compression sleeve aimed at reducing swelling on flights and that it had nothing to do with a wrist that was not previously injured.

"This is a completely different thing," Burrow said.
