Return to Practice Details
Burrow’s return is significant as he starts a 21-day period of limited practice, which does not affect the team’s 53-player active roster. This window allows him to prepare for a possible return to game action.
Injured Reserve Status
- Burrow has been on injured reserve since September 16.
- Limited practice begins on November 10, 2025.
- Coach Zac Taylor confirmed Burrow will not play in the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Assessment and Future Plans
As Burrow returns to practice, his status will be evaluated weekly. Coach Taylor emphasized that this is only the beginning of the process. “This is just Day 1,” he stated.
Quarterback Performance During Absence
