While it comes as no surprise, it was reported yesterday that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is expected to be ready to start week one of the 2021 regular season. The 2020 first-overall pick suffered a major knee injury 10 games into the season, including a torn ACL, but appears on track to make it back onto the field for the Bengals’ next game.
Though they only went 2-7-1 in the 10 games he started, CBS Sports commentator Adam Schein sees bigger things on the horizon for Cincinnati this year, and cited the drafting of Burrow’s teammate, wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, as one of the reasons why.
