This is what Dr. Forest Heis (OrthoCincy) recently told us:
"We're even better at things we do now in the operating room and the therapy afterwards and rehab. So, I'm very hopeful he'll be back for next year as strong as ever." #Bengals
— Jeremy Rauch (@FOX19Jeremy) December 3, 2020Another opinion just now from Dr. Timothy Kremchek:
"This is a 9 to 12 month recovery. Getting him back by the start of the 2021 season is a long shot."
Also made the point that rushing Burrow back would not be worth the risk for your franchise QB.
