Burrow, who underwent surgery on his left toe, has been on the injured reserve list since Sept. 16. However, since he returned to practice on Monday, it marks a 21-day period during which he may begin limited practice with the team without counting against the 53-player active roster.

Burrow's return to practice is a big boost for Cincinnati. It's safe to say that the Bengals' offense has not been the same without their star QB.

Heading into Week 11, the Bengals are third in the AFC North with a 3-6 record. Cincinnati is currently on a two-game losing streak.

Last season, Burrow won the AP Comeback Player of the Year award. He led the league in passing yards (4,918) and touchdowns (43).

Although the Bengals are facing a big challenge to make the playoffs, they can achieve something special if Burrow returns to action soon.

While the Bengals will be glad to have Joe Burrow back in practice, the quarterback won't play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11 on Sunday. Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor confirmed on Monday that Burrow's status will continue to be evaluated each week.

"This is just Day 1," Taylor said.

The Bengals will likely continue with Joe Flacco as their starting QB with Burrow still on the road to recovery.

The Steelers (5-4) are leading the AFC North. Their offense will be led by veteran QB Aaron Rodgers.

Pittsburgh suffered a 25-10 loss to the LA Chargers in Week 10 on Sunday.
