The Bengals are 2-0, but they've still suffered a major loss early in the 2025 season. Joe Burrow recently underwent surgery to repair a turf toe injury, which will keep him on the bench for an extended period.
He left during the Bengals' Week 2 game against the Jaguars, and Jake Browning took over quarterback duties. Browning is expected to remain the starting quarterback as Burrow recovers. Cincinnati had two relatively easy matchups to start the season, but now the schedule gets tough.
The Bengals will next face the Vikings, who are 1-1 with J.J. McCarthy under center. He won't be available this week, however, as he's also sidelined with an ankle injury.
