Joe Burrow will spend another week on the sidelines.
The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback won’t return from his turf toe injury on Sunday against the New England Patriots despite being listed as questionable, per multiple reports on Saturday.
Burrow will need to be activated off injured reserve before making his return.
Instead, Joe Flacco will make another start for the Bengals (3-7), who have dropped seven of eight. While Flacco is healthy enough to start, he continues to manage a shoulder injury that has impacted him over the last month and was limited in practice this week.
Burrow has not played since he was injured in a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 14.
He returned to practice in a limited capacity last week and then began doing 11-on-11 drills in practice this week.
The Bengals have a quick turnaround ahead of Week 12, when they meet the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday as part of the NFL’s Thanksgiving slate.
