The 25-year-old starting quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Burrow, is back at the training session! It looked like Burrow had to wait for a long time to return to the field after he missed a few training sessions. The QB underwent the procedure to remove his appendix on July 26th. He suffered from appendicitis, where the appendix gets swollen/inflamed.

Burrow was back on the field 19 days after the procedure. He wore his orange jersey finally and participated in the drills. Although he had just recovered from a surgery, he surprised all his teammates when he not only stayed in the seven-on-seven period but also threw ten passes against the starters and the backups.
