CINCINNATI —

Joe Burrow could be returning to the field for the Cincinnati Bengals soon.

The Bengals’ franchise quarterback returned to the practice field in limited fashion on Monday, less than two months after suffering a toe injury in Week 2 that required surgery.

Neither Burrow nor the Bengals have released a timeline for when they expect the 28-year-old to be back on the field for a game but some around the league have speculated that the Bengals’ Thanksgiving game against the Baltimore Ravens could be a realistic target.

Asked if it would be meaningful for him to return on Thanksgiving, Burrow responded “very,” but didn’t give a definitive answer on if that is his target date to return.

“We’ll see,” Burrow said. “We’ll see how these next couple weeks go.”

Monday’s designation begins a 21-day period during which Burrow may begin limited practice with the team without counting against the 53-player active roster.

He can be activated to the roster any time over the next 21 days.

Sitting at 3-6 after the bye, Cincinnati has eight games left on their schedule. They’ll close November at Pittsburgh, at home against New England (Nov. 23) and at Baltimore on Thanksgiving night (Nov. 27).

“We’ll see how these next couple weeks go,” Burrow said. “There’s a lot that goes into it. There’s a lot of variables that you have to consider and we’re just going to see how these next couple weeks go, see how it feels.”

In limited action through the first two weeks this season, Burrow has two touchdowns, no interceptions and 189 passing yards.
