Burrow will reportedly need toe surgery, which would sideline him for a minimum of three months, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Confirmation is still pending from the Bengals, but it looks like Burrow will miss extended time, which sets the stage for Jake Browning to handle the team's QB duties into December. Brett Rypien is currently on Cincinnati's practice squad, but the team could look elsewhere for signal-caller depth to back up Browning, per Schefter.
