Joe Burrow got hurt during a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars when he was sacked by defensive end Arik Armstead. During this play, Burrow's left toe was injured when other players fell on him after the sack. He initially tried to walk off the field but then went down in pain and was taken to the medical tent and then the locker room. The injury was diagnosed as a Grade 3 turf toe, which is a serious injury to the toe that often requires surgery. Following an MRI and consultation with foot specialists, Burrow is set to undergo toe surgery and is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of three months. He was seen after the game on crutches and wearing a walking boot. This injury is another significant setback in Burrow's career, which has seen prior season- ending injuries to his knee and wrist. In summary:
- Injury: Left toe injury (Grade 3 turf toe)
- Cause: Sack and pile-up by Jaguars' Arik Armstead during the second quarter
- Diagnosis: Turf toe requiring surgery
- Expected absence: At least three months with surgery planned
- Burrow left the game and did not return; backup Jake Browning took over and led the team to victory.
