Joe Burrow could miss entire season after crushing Bengals injury

Jay Glazer reported on “Fox NFL Sunday” that Burrow might only have a chance to play again this year if the Bengals reach the playoffs — and even that is not a guarantee.

“They’re saying three months, I don’t see three months being an actual timeline,” Glazer said. “I think more so [Burrow has] a chance [to return] if they make the playoffs, but only because it’s Joe Burrow. Somebody else I’d say no. But he has that Mamba Mentality, maybe yes. It’s such a difficult injury to return from.”

Burrow, 28, had surgery on Friday to repair a fully torn tendon in his big toe, along with a ligament and a “capsule,” per Glazer.
