Burrow missed the final seven games of the season in 2023, with the Bengals turning to backup Jake Browning for the playoff push. Burrow underwent surgery on his wrist in late November of last year.

In February, Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin delivered an encouraging update on Burrow's progress saying, "All reports that we've gotten have been very positive. We expect a full recovery and for him to continue being Joe."

It was a season full of obstacles for Burrow in 2023, who dealt with a lingering calf injury during training camp and into the early part of the regular season.

The former Heisman Trophy winner began to find a groove during the middle part of the season, tossing 10 touchdowns to only two interceptions in the Bengals' four-game winning streak from Oct. 8 to Nov. 5.

That progress came to a screeching halt, however, when Burrow suffered the wrist injury during the Bengals' Week 11 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Burrow finished the 2023 season with 15 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 66.8 completion percentage across 10 games.

With Burrow officially back to football activities ahead of the beginning of team OTAs on May 28, all signs seem to indicate that the Pro Bowl quarterback is continuing to trend in a positive direction for the start of the 2024 season.
