Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow left Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on crutches and in a boot after suffering a turf toe injury in the second quarter. The severity of the injury is still being determined, with the team seeking second opinions and Burrow undergoing an MRI. Depending on the results, surgery could be required, sidelining him for at least three months. The most optimistic scenario involves injured reserve and a minimum four-game absence. Backup quarterback Jake Browning stepped in, leading the Bengals to a 31-27 victory. Burrow's injury history includes a knee injury in 2020 and a wrist injury in 2023. This injury comes at a critical time for the Bengals, who face a tough upcoming schedule.
