Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is set to undergo surgery to have his appendix removed, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport. He’s expected to miss some practice time while recovering.
There’s no indication that the procedure will impact his availability for preseason games or the regular season. It’s unclear exactly when the surgery will take place.
After missing the final six games of his rookie seasons following tears to his ACL and MCL in his left knee, Burrow shined for Cincinnati in 2021. In 16 games, he completed a league-leading 70.4% of his pass attempts for 4,611 yards, 34 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
