Burrow is believed to have turf toe with torn ligaments, according to Bengals reporter Jeremy Rauch. Cincinnati just barely hung on to win without their star QB, defeating the Jags, 31-27.
Update Monday: According to Adam Schefter, Burrow does need toe surgery and will be sidelined a “minimum of three months.”

After he got inside Paycor Stadium, CBS Sports cameras spotted the Cincinnati QB getting some assistance the rest of the way to the locker room:
Update: According to the Bengals Burrow has a left toe injury and is officially questionable to return.
