If you&#8217;re looking for help making your picks, watch and see why Lorenzo likes the Browns, Bears and Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>For the second time in as many weeks, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/cincinnati-bengals\/327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> gave up a go-ahead score inside two minutes in regulation to lose. In Week 8, it was a 39-38 loss to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/sports\/nfl\/new-york-jets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">New York Jets<\/a>. In Week 9, it was a 47-42 loss to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/sports\/nfl\/chicago-bears\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Chicago Bears<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, Cincinnati&#8217;s offense had an outstanding day. The Bengals put up a season-high 495 yards of offense behind quarterback Joe Flacco and a stable of talent.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re now 3-6 entering their bye. With eight games left in the regular season, Bengals fans have to be wondering how soon franchise quarterback <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/players\/joe-burrow\/878785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Joe Burrow<\/a> can come back.<\/p>\n<p>Burrow&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/bengals\/2025\/09\/15\/joe-burrow-injury-update-cincinnati-bengals-toe\/86161918007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Grade 3 turf toe injury<\/a>\u00a0in Week 2 against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/sports\/nfl\/jacksonville-jaguars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> put him on injured reserve (IR) for the last two months.<\/p>\n<p>After losing three games in a row without Burrow in the lineup, Cincinnati <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/bengals\/2025\/10\/07\/joe-flacco-trade-bengals-browns-joe-burrow-shedeur-sanders\/86567652007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">traded for Flacco from the Browns<\/a> to get a change at quarterback. Flacco has led them to one win in four games since taking over the starting job.<\/p>\n<p>Time&#8217;s running out for Burrow to come back and help keep the Bengals&#8217; playoff hopes alive. Here&#8217;s the latest on his status.<\/p>\n<p>How long is Joe Burrow out?<\/p>\n<p>Bengals coach Zac Taylor spoke about Burrow&#8217;s status ahead of the team&#8217;s Week 8 game against New York.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s been good. I don\u2019t have any updates [on the progress]. It\u2019s gone as we had hoped,&#8221; Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s had a great attitude, great energy about him. He\u2019s in the meetings, met with him one-on-one, he\u2019s been great to be around, optimistic and things have been going well, but I don\u2019t have any update on the timeline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Burrow had surgery on his toe on Sept. 19 with a predicted three-month recovery. Three months from that date would be Dec. 19 \u2013 two days before the Bengals&#8217; Week 16 game against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/sports\/nfl\/miami-dolphins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Miami<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That would be the earliest.
