Despite suffering the season-ending injury last year, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported last week that Burrow is “all systems go” for the Week 1 game against the Minnesota Vikings. That game is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 12.
Burrow underwent reconstructive left knee surgery in December. It was unclear whether or not he’d be healthy in time for the start of the 2021 season.
As a rookie in Cincinnati, Burrow played in 10 games and threw for 2,688 yards and 13 touchdowns while completing over 65% of his passes. He only had 5 interceptions on the year. The Bengals ended the 2020 season with a 4-11-1 record.
