CINCINNATI (AP) 鈥� Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was activated off injured reserve on Wednesday, the final hurdle he needed to clear in order to return on .
Burrow had surgery to repair a turf toe injury on Sept. 19 and missed nine games. The six-year veteran is making his return nearly a full month ahead of schedule.
The Bengals (3-8) have dropped eight of nine without Burrow. He returned to practice on Nov. 10 and worked with the scout team and first-team offense for 11-on-11 drills last week.
Cincinnati also activated safety Daijahn Anthony from injured reserve after he missed the first 11 games because of a hamstring injury, Cornerback Marco Wilson went on IR after he suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday’s 26-20 loss to New England.
