Joe Burrow motivated to ‘stay healthy’ this offseason after missing out majority of last year due to injury

Joe Burrow had an unfortunate last season. He was injury-ridden ahead of the 2023-24 season but managed to make a comeback before the games commenced. Even then, his stint in the season was short-lived. The quarterback suffered a major ligament injury and had to leave the camp in the middle.

The Cincinnati Bengals then eventually failed to make it to the playoffs for the first time in the last three years. In the coming season, the analysts will have the eagle’s vision on Joe Burrow‘s comeback. His re-induction into the squad is needed for the success of the Bengals.

But how is Burrow? Is he 100% fit? In a recent interview with the Bengals’ official website, Burrow shed light on his physical condition. The quarterback noted that he is much better now and is all set to make a comeback in the coming time.

I’m doing the rehab every day. That’s always a part of it. As far as my offseason training, it hasn’t really affected it too much. I’ve been able to pretty much do everything I normally do from a lifting and conditioning standpoint. I’m in a great spot body-wise. 

Joe Burrow told Geoff Hobson

A fit Burrow can be an answer to a lot of things. At least, the analysts believe that. After the Kansas City Chiefs won their consecutive two Super Bowl titles, multiple analysts argued that only a fit Burrow could stop the Kansas City Chiefs and their quarterback Patrick Mahomes. It is worth noting that Burrow shares a winning record in the playoffs against Mahomes.

Joe Burrow is getting better with time

Joe Burrow aggravated his calf injury ahead of the 2023-24 season. However, the quarterback risked himself for his team’s cause and came back to the field. He played a few games without being 100% fit. However, his stint did not last long following another injury.

Now, Burrow is confident that he has done enough work to make a comeback in the coming season. He believes that the problems of last season would not impact his upcoming journey.

I’m confident I’ve put all the work in I need to make sure I’m healthy,” I’m continuing year-to-year to better hone that and make that more efficient. Maybe listen to my body a little more throughout the offseason and not push through things that maybe I have in the past. I’m just starting to learn my body more and more.

Joe Burrow added

However, Burrow knows very well that being in peak physical condition alone is not enough to stop the Chiefs from winning the three-peats. A collective team effort from the Bengals is probably what will take to end the Chiefs’ juggernaut.
