Joe Burrow Among Favorites to Win NFL Comeback Player of the Year
CINCINNATI — When Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a torn left ACL and MCL last November, there were plenty of questions about his future.
Would he overcome the devastating knee injury and reach his full potential? Will he be as mobile as he was before the injury? Would he be ready for the start of the 2021 season?
While we can't answer all of those questions [yet], we do know that Burrow will be on the field for Sunday's season opener against the Vikings at Paul Brown Stadium.
The 24-year-old was fully cleared before training camp started in late July and he's hoping to get the Bengals to the playoffs this season for the first time since 2015. If he does that, then he'll certainly be in the mix to win the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year Award.
