Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow continues to make strides in his recovery from a torn ligament in his right wrist. Burrow, who underwent surgery on his wrist last November, has been cleared to throw but is still awaiting clearance for contact.

Despite the ongoing rehab process, Burrow expressed optimism about his recent workouts, stating that he felt encouraged by his progress in the last couple of days. The 27-year-old QB is aiming to be fully prepared for the upcoming training camp.

Following his injury in the 10th game of the previous season, Burrow missed the remainder of the campaign, with backup Jake Browning stepping in to lead the team. The Bengals finished the season with a 9-8 record, falling short of a playoff berth.

Having experienced previous injuries, including a knee injury in his rookie year and a calf strain during training camp in 2023, Burrow emphasized the importance of being cautious and listening to his body during the recovery process. He acknowledged the uncertainty that comes with rehab but expressed satisfaction with his current progress.
