CINCINNATI BENGALS star Joe Burrow broke his silence after his heartbreaking injury.
Burrow, 28, suffered a turf toe injury during the Bengals’ win over the Jacksonville Jaguars two weeks ago after being sacked by Arik Armstead.
The quarterback now faces a long spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on his foot.
The former LSU star issued an emotional message to fans on Instagram where he a posted three photos – two of which were in black and white.
Burrow added the following caption: “This game will break your heart. See you soon.”
Initial reports suggested the Bengals star would be out for about three months.
That would allow the ex-Ohio State star to return during the regular season.
According to Fox NFL Sunday, however, the prognosis appears to be worse.
Burrow is more likely to return for the playoffs if the Bengals manage to get there.
The same source claims the QB fully tore a tendon, ligament and a ‘capsule’ in his foot.
Two years ago, Burrow missed the final seven games of the 2023 season due to a wrist injury.
The same thing happened to him during his rookie season in 2020, which ended prematurely after he tore his ACL, PCL, MCL and meniscus.
The NFL playoffs kick off on January 10.
