Burrow, who was lost for the season after suffering a torn ligament in his wrist on Nov. 16 against the Baltimore Ravens, finished his fourth year with the Bengals throwing for 2,309 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions in 10 starts.
Cincinnati, with QB Jake Browning getting his first start for the squad, lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 16-10, on Sunday.
In September, Burrow signed a five-year, $275 million extension with the Bengals.
Now, the 26-year-old has his surgery behind him and is set down his path to recovery ahead of the 2024 campaign.
