Joe Burrow is inching closer and closer towards getting back to his very best. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback who had his promising rookie campaign cut short by an ACL tear he sustained in a clash against the Washington Football Team is back on the field.
But thankfully for the Bengals, the quarterback and his team of doctors believe he is almost 100% match fit. Seen throwing balls at the Bengals minicamp, Joe Burrow is excited about a new target he’ll get to throw at come next season.
