Joe Burrow has long been considered the future star of the NFL. A new type of QB, who can create plays with both his hands and feet. Since he burst onto the scene, Burrow has dominated every aspect of the football world. But the youngster’s career has been marred with injuries. And 2023 is no different, this time ending his season early with a wrist injury to his throwing arm.

The Heisman Trophy winner was the Cincinnati Bengals’ first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. And he has repaid the Bengals immensely. They, in turn, gave him a lavish 5-year deal, making him one of the highest-paid footballers in the NFL. But during all this time, the injuries kept troubling him. His troubles in the second half of 2023 have gotten far worse.

Joe Burrow and his injuries

Earlier this year in July, Burrow strained his right calf. This caused him to miss most of the preseason and the training camp. However, he was ready to begin the season. But in the Week 2 game against the Baltimore Ravens, Burrow tweaked his calf again. He had to limp out of the field in the second half and the Bengals lost the game.

Calf injuries are niggling and can come back and haunt anytime. But the worst did not play out as Burrow was declared fit to participate in the Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Rams. And as the weeks went by, it was believed that Burrow had left his calf issues behind.

However, he did not injure his calf again. Recent MRI scans confirmed that the 26-year-old has torn a ligament in his right wrist. This injury also occurred against the Ravens and the Bengals lost this one too. Though, Burrow exactly knows this feeling better than anyone.

Burrow has been there and done that

In his rookie season, Burrow was on fire and looking to take the Bengals all the way. But just like this time, in the Bengals’ Week 11 game Burrow suffered a season-ending injury. In 2020, he tore his ACL, MCL, PCL, and Meniscus of his right knee against the Washington Commanders.

Sitting out for almost 7 months, when Burrow started the next season’s campaign in 2021, he was just like himself. Tearing apart defenses, winning the AFC, and then taking the Bengals to the Super Bowl.

So if anyone can make a comeback from a horrific injury, it’s Joe Burrow. ‘Who Dey Nation’ and all the football fans around the world must be wishing for his quick recovery. Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments.
