CINCINNATI (WLWT) — Joe Burrow made an appearance on the sideline for the Bengal’s primetime matchup against the Steelers Thursday.
Burrow, who’s recovering from a turf toe injury, was seen cheering on his team as they went on to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Burrow not only surprised fans by his return to the sideline, but with his new hairstyle.
The star quarterback has made headlines for his hairstyle choices in years past, sporting bleached blonde hair, a buzzcut, among others, when making his return to training camps.
This time, the quarterback appeared to do the opposite, sporting a longer hairstyle that got many fans talking.
The hairstyle, of course, made waves on social media, with many commenting on the long hair, comparing the quarterback to popular TV show stars and memes.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Bengals’ franchise player is “on track” to return from injury in mid-December.
“He is on track, doing well, has had no setbacks,” Rapoport said on the pregame show of Thursday night’s game on Amazon Prime. “If this continues in this direction, he should be back on the field mid-December, and has told people close to him that he absolutely intends to be back.”
Burrow suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury in Week 2’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and underwent successful surgery in late September.
It was believed Burrow was set to face a three-month recovery, with many pegging December as the time Cincinnati’s QB1 could return to the field.
