Burrow faces a left toe surgery and is expected to miss at least three months, marking a pivotal disruption for Bengals and fantasy rosters relying on his production.

Burrow will undergo surgery on a left toe and is expected to miss at least three months, forcing a quarterback shift in Cincinnati. His injury, the latest in a run of durability concerns, elevates Jake Browning’s early-season workload and places extra emphasis on the Bengals’ protection schemes and receiver targets as the team fights to sustain its 2-0 start.

Burrow’s turf toe surgery will sideline him for the majority of the regular season, forcing Cincinnati to lean on depth and a retooled attack as it hunts a return to AFC North contention. His absence dents the Bengals’ ceiling and fantasy projections, given the quarterback’s elite accuracy and timing.

Burrow’s turf-toe injury could require surgery, creating a longer absence and elevating Browning’s role. Burrow was leading the NFL in passing yards and TDs before the setback, making his timeline pivotal for Bengals’ season outlook and fantasy implications.
