Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow officially was activated from injured reserve on Wednesday and is expected to start Thursday’s game against the host Baltimore Ravens.
The Bengals announced the move over social media and posted a slow-motion video of Burrow along with the caption: “He’s back.”
Burrow is set to play for the first time since Week 2 after he underwent surgery for turf toe on Sept. 19.
Cincinnati (3-8) went 1-8 without Burrow.
Burrow, 28, has played in 71 career games and has a 40-30-1 record. In his sixth NFL season, Burrow has completed 68.5% of his passes for 19,190 yards with 142 touchdowns and 46 interceptions.
He is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and has twice been named Comeback Player of the Year after his return from serious injuries that ended his 2020 and 2023 seasons.
Also on Wednesday, the Bengals activated safety Daijahn Anthony from injured reserve and placed cornerback Marco Wilson on IR.
Anthony, 25, was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury on Aug. 26.
Wilson, 26, sustained a hamstring injury in Cincinnati’s 26-20 loss to the New England Patriots this past Sunday.
He has three tackles in four games this season.
