when will joe burrow be back

Joe Burrow will be out for at least three months due to a Grade 3 turf toe injury sustained in a September 14, 2025 game. He is expected to undergo surgery on the injured toe, which will keep him off the field for approximately three months or more. This likely sidelines him for a significant portion of the 2025 NFL season. Surgery and recovery timelines indicate a return no earlier than mid-December 2025, but exact timing depends on his healing and rehabilitation process.
