The first day of OTA’s for the Cincinnati Bengals is officially in the books, and it was a fun day for Bengals fans.
The future of the Bengals franchise officially returned to the practice field, and he certainly looked like someone who is “all systems go” for the season opener week one against the Minnesota Vikings.
The entire Bengals roster was present for the first voluntary organized practice of the 2021 offseason, according to reports. Free safety Jessie Bates III led a team meeting prior to today to assure every team member was on the same page leading up to the start of OTA’s.
After practice concluded, Burrow talked with the media and said his left knee is at “80-85 percent” and he wouldn’t fully rule out playing in the preseason.

Overall, Joe Burrow looked healthy and sharp today, and he certainly looked very happy to be out there, too.
Folks on Twitter seemed pretty pumped about it too.

It will be interesting to watch how Burrow can expand upon his achievements this coming season — and it’s only up from here.
