Joe Burrow underwent turf toe surgery with no official return timetable, leaving him out indefinitely. Jake Browning steps in as the Bengals’ starter for the Vikings game, having started seven games in 2023 when Burrow was sidelined. Cincinnati also faces potential injury blows on defense, with Cam Taylor-Britt listed as doubtful and DJ Turner II likely stepping in if needed. Jefferson looms for Minnesota, while Cincinnati eyes a rare 3-0 start since 2015.
