Will Joe Burrow’s turf toe injury require surgery? Giants\u2019 Jameis Winston becomes popular name on Bengals\u2019 trade radar if QB is out for the season<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a><\/p>\n

The Cincinnati Bengals will lose Joe Burrow for a minimum of three months following a Grade 3 turf toe injury<\/a> suffered during a 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> on Sunday. Burrow\u2019s turf toe injury will require surgery.<\/p>\n

The Bengals got an uneven, but winning, effort from backup Jake Browning (21\/32 passing, two touchdowns, three interceptions). But now Browning needs a backup.<\/p>\n

A popular name popping up for that role is Jameis Winston<\/a>. The former Heisman Trophy winner at Florida State University is currently Brian Daboll\u2019s QB3 behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart.<\/p>\n

Winson has accepted his spot on the totem pole in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cI prepare as if I’m the starting quarterback. Preparation is preparation. So, every single week, I’m the first one in this building, and I’m preparing as if I’m starting on Sunday, Monday, or Thursday,\u201d Winston said last week.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean he can\u2019t embrace a new home elsewhere. USA Today\u2019s Jacob Camenker<\/a> deemed Winston the \u201cprime\u201d candidate to be the Bengals\u2019 QB2 until Burrow returns \u2013 or perhaps rather, if he returns, should Cincinnati remain competitive in his absence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Bengals are going to trade for a quarterback, Winston might be the prime candidate. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft has made 87 starts during his career and has the type of gunslinger mentality that could work in a Bengals offense sporting great talent at the skill positions,\u201d Camenker wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinston is playing on a two-year, $8 million deal that is commensurate with the pay of NFL backup quarterbacks. The Bengals could easily absorb that salary, install Winston as the backup behind Browning and ready the 31-year-old veteran to start should Browning stumble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winston is doing nothing in New York. Behind Browning on the Bengals\u2019 depth chart is\u2026no one.<\/p>\n

This deal should be made ASAP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will Joe Burrow’s turf toe injury require surgery?
