Joe Burrow has rookie season end with next year in doubt due to severe knee injury

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a torn ACL, MCL and other structural damage to his left knee Sunday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday.

The former LSU star is facing nine to 12 months recovery time from major reconstructive surgery, putting his second pro season in doubt.

These types of knee injuries, like the one Joe Burrow suffered, usually sideline players anywhere from 9-12 months, though each person heals and rehabs differently. But no matter how quickly Burrow does or doesn’t recover, next year’s status is now in question. https://t.co/XfUUMbMPOx
