The news of Joe Burrow’s injury sent shockwaves through the NFL community. Burrow, the Bengals’ star quarterback and the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, suffered a devastating knee injury that abruptly ended his season. Dr. Chao provided his valuable insight into the injury and its expected recovery timeline on the Bleav In Bengals Podcast on Friday.

According to Dr. Chao, the typical recovery period for an injury of this nature is in the range of 4 to 6 months. This timeline is based on his extensive experience in evaluating and treating sports injuries. While the road to recovery may be challenging, Dr. Chao expressed confidence in Joe Burrow’s ability to bounce back.

One of the key points emphasized by Dr. Chao during the podcast was the misconception surrounding Joe Burrow’s injury history. Despite suffering this significant setback, Dr. Chao was quick to dismiss any notion that Burrow is injury-prone.

Dr. Chao explained that playing the quarterback position in the NFL is inherently demanding, and injuries can happen to even the most talented and well-conditioned athletes. Burrow’s injury, while unfortunate, does not define his career or make him prone to future injuries. It was a case of bad luck rather than a pattern of fragility.
