Burrow, meanwhile, is looking to bounce back from an injury-plagued 2023 season. He was never fully healthy and ultimately only played in 10 games before he was sidelined for the rest of the season and the Bengals missed the postseason.
Expectations are high this season for Burrow and Cincinnati, and the matchup is sure to draw quite a bit of interest from LSU fans.
