Slow and Steady Recovery
While Burrow is not yet cleared for full contact, he remains confident in his gradual progress. “I think I’m fully cleared for everything other than contact right now,” he noted. “That’ll come in the next month probably. But there’s no rush; the season doesn’t start for a while. So, we’re in a good spot.”
His patient approach to rehabilitation underscores his commitment to ensuring full recovery before taking the field again. The quarterback acknowledged that despite the unpredictability of healing from injuries, he remains encouraged by the progress made during recent workouts, Felt good the last two days.

The 2023 season was tumultuous for Burrow, starting with a calf injury that lingered through the opening weeks.
