Let the Joe Burrow hype begin.
The Cincinnati Bengals remained quiet on Burrow’s injury comeback timeline but couldn’t hide the star quarterback’s return on Wednesday, where he worked some seven-on-seven.
There, Bengals teammates were more than happy to see him back in action — and one weapon in particular was highly impressed with what he saw.
“He looked way better than I thought … I don’t mean that with any disrespect,” Trenton Irwin said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “Coming back from a month and rarely seeing him for a while … Fun to see. Very fun to see. Creative throws. He threw some good balls out there. Excited to see him move around. He throws special balls. That’s what he does. Good to see him back out there doing what he does.”
It’s a pretty good sign to anyone who suggested Burrow was better off this year than he was compared to last year’s ruptured appendix that things are going well.
We’ll see when Burrow takes part in full-blown contact again, but it’s safe to think he’s well on track for Week 1.
