It has been one hectic offseason for the Cincinnati Bengals, and now, the front office has received critical news regarding starting quarterback Joe Burrow that it has been waiting months for.
As noted by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Joe Burrow will be a full go for the start of the Bengals' training camp schedule, which will kick off on Tuesday.
#Bengals QB Joe Burrow will be on the field, healthy, when training camp begins. He’s not on the PUP/NFI list the team just announced and there are no plans for Burrow to be on it. After an ACL tear in 2020, a significant development for Cincy.

Joe Burrow had been sidelined after he tore his ACL and MCL on his left knee last season. The one-time Heisman Trophy winner suffered this horrific injury during his team's regular season game against the Washington Football Team last November.
The Bengals quarterback had been enjoying a promising rookie season, with 13 passing touchdowns over 10 games played. Still, the injury ended any aspirations that he had of possibly claiming the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
It has been a long road to recovery for Joe Burrow. In May, Burrow noted that he was at “80 to 85 percent” with his injury rehab process.
Since then, Burrow has made stark progress with his injury rehab in anticipation of the upcoming season. And now, he is well ready to feature in training camp, as the Bengals elected not to place him on their Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
For the moment, Joe Burrow is not only expected to take part in the Bengals' upcoming training camp schedule, but he may also feature in some of their preseason games. The team's coaching staff sure would like to get him as many offensive reps as possible ahead of the upcoming Week 1 opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
More so, many sure would like to see some preseason action featuring Burrow and new Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who they drafted with their first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
