Joe Burrow confirms his appendix did rupture

We got good news out of Cincinnati Bengals training camp today, as quarterback Joe Burrow returned to full, 11-on-11 drills. Things seem to continue to progress well following his unexpected appendectomy on July 26th.

In his first press conference of camp, Burrow went into more detail about what lead to the surgery and where his recovery stands.

“It wasn’t normal appendicitis that you hear about,” Burrow said. “I didn’t really feel much. Just getting it checked out and had some discomfort, so we thought we’d get it checked out. Turns out I had it, so we had to get it fixed.
