Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Cincinnati Bengals Pro Bowl quarterback Joe Burrow requires turf toe surgery of his left foot and is out indefinitely, coach Zac Taylor told reporters Monday.
"It looks like he is going to need surgery," Taylor said of Burrow. "We are still working through all the details of that, what that timeline is going to look like. So that's really all the information I have today."
Taylor did not yet know a surgery date for Burrow and said he has not made a determination whether he will be placed on injured reserve, which would trigger an automatic absence of at least four games. Burrow is gathering additional opinions.
"I'm not trying to just be vague with the timeline that I'm unsure of," Taylor said. "I know I've stuck my foot in my mouth in the past by giving that. We will get the surgery date nailed down if he is going to do that and move forward with all the information we have."
Taylor said he did not want to "say anything that I can't fully answer" when asked if Burrow would return this season. Veteran backup Jake Browning is in line to start in Burrow's absence, but Taylor said the Bengals are interested in adding depth at quarterback.
