Joe Burrow Injury: Set to undergo toe surgery soon

Burrow is on track to undergo a procedure Friday to repair his Grade 3 turf toe, provided that swelling isn't an issue, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rapoport notes that it's possible that the procedure could get pushed back a few days, but once the surgery happens, the QB will face an estimated three-month recovery. That's a timetable that could allow for a late-season return for Burrow, but for the time being Jake Browning will fill in as Cincinnati's top signal-caller, with Brett Rypien set to serve as his backup and Mike White and Sean Clifford currently on the team's practice squad.
