Joe Burrow hopes to play in Bengals preseason games

In the aftermath of his promising rookie campaign being curtailed by a torn ACL, Joe Burrow is anxious to get back on the field. That excitement to return includes an urge to play in the preseason for Burrow, who expressed just that desire a day after Bengals owner Mike Brown said the 2020 No. 1 overall pick “probably” would not play in any of any of Cincinnati’s preseason tilts. “We’ll have that discussion with [head coach] Zac [Taylor] and ownership,” Burrow told reporters in Wednesday’s news conference. “I’d like to go out there and feel the rush at least a couple times. Don’t have to play the full game, but I would like to get out there a little bit.”
