Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Joe Burrow and other key starters are in line to be rested for Saturday's preseason game against the Bears, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.Burrow will participate in Thursday's joint practice with the Bears, so he'll still be getting the equivalent of game-like reps this week despite sitting out the Bengals' second preseason contest. The 29-year-old signal-caller directed the Cincinnati offense for the first two possessions of last week's preseason-opening win over the Lions, completing five of six passes for 39 yards.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Plays two drives in Week 1 of preseason

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Adjusting to new offense
Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals offense had its best day of training camp Sunday, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.Per Dehner, the Bengals offense this year has shifted from static, pre-snap looks and shotgun formations to a scheme with more under-center motions. There have been some early hiccups in training camp, but Burrow and the offense have been better over the last couple of days, particularly in Sunday's practice when the star quarterback directed two 80-yard touchdown drives that ended with passing touchdowns to Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas. Burrow missed nine of 17 games last year due to turf toe and returned to action Week 13. Over the last six games of the 2025 regular season, Burrow completed 68.2 percent of his passes for 1,620 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions while turning 12 carries into 38 yards.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Working under center more
The Cincinnati Bengals are spending more time working on their under-center offense more this offseason, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.The Bengals have been slow to adapt the growing trend in the NFL of working under center, and using more play-action from that set-up to initiate explosive plays. It's always been Joe Burrow's preference to work out of the shotgun and survey the field, but the evidence suggests that the Bengals, while being successful in that format, are leaving explosive plays on the table as a result.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Agrees to contract restructure
Joe Burrow agreed to a restructured contract Tuesday, creating $10 million in cap space for the Cincinnati Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Burrow very likely converted a sizable chunk of his $25.25 million salary for 2026 into a bonus. The two-time Comeback Player of the Year has four years remaining on his current five-year, $275 million deal and is tied with a handful of other quarterbacks for second in AAV at $55 million a season, behind Dak Prescott's $60 million per year. Burrow has missed a combined 16 games to injuries over the past three seasons, but during a 2024 season in which he started all 17 regular-season contests, he led the NFL in passing yards (4,918) and passing touchdowns (43).

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Continuity on O, more help on D
Joe Burrow was present for the start of Cincinnati's voluntary offseason workouts Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.Burrow was limited to eight appearances in 2025 due to a toe injury, but he's healthy at the start of team activities heading into the 2026 season and hoping to lead the Cincinnati Bengals back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2022 campaign. Cincinnati took steps toward accomplishing that goal by bolstering its defensive personnel in the offseason, most notably trading for star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. Burrow still has plenty to work with on offense, with the team returning wideouts Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas, running back Chase Brown and tight end Mike Gesicki.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Confirmed starter for Week 18
Coach Zac Taylor confirmed Monday that Joe Burrow will start next Sunday's regular-season finale against the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.Neither the Cincinnati Bengals nor Browns have anything to play for besides pride and personal statistics, so there was a small chance Burrow could sit for Week 18. However, the Bengals are trying to end the season on a high note after beating the Dolphins and Cardinals in Weeks 16 and 17, respectively. Since returning to the field in Week 13, Burrow is fantasy's overall QB5 with a pair of 300-yard passing games and a 12:4 TD:INT.

Bengals' Joe Burrow: Tops 300 yards in Sunday's rout
Joe Burrow completed 24 of 31 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals. He added two rushing yards on three carries.In a battle between two of the league's worst defenses, it was Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals that took the most advantage. The superstar QB hit Ja'Marr Chase for a 13-yard score in the first quarter to get the rout started, then connected with his top downfield option again for an eight-yard TD just before halftime. Burrow has topped 300 passing yards in back-to-back games with a 6:0 TD:INT, and he'll look to finish the season on a high note while avoiding having Myles Garrett set the all-time sack record at his expense, in Week 18 against the Browns.
