Not that Cincinnati Bengals fans should expect any different, but things continue to trend in the right direction for quarterback Joe Burrow.
First, offensive coordinator Brian Callahan offered minor comments, per Russ Heltman of All Bengals: “To my eyes, he looks like he is progressing the way he’s supposed to.nI don’t see him a lot doing things. I probably see him as much as you guys do. So I don’t go watch his rehab or anything like that, but I feel good about everything I’ve heard and seen so far.”
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor met with the media on Monday and offered a bit more, per Fox 19’s Joe Danneman:
Zac Taylor when asked how much time Burrow will need back at practice to be ready for week one: “One rep.” (Jokingly)
Said Burrow looks great around the facility. Said this return to practice is markedly different than last year coming back from appendectomy.

Things continue to trend in an almost unconcerned manner for Burrow and the Bengals as his return for Week 1 looks all but confirmed, barring a setback.
Somehow more concerning now is the shaky situation behind Burrow on the depth chart as the backup quarterbacks continue to struggle.
