Joe Burrow just underwent surgery to have his appendix removed.

Joe Burrow continues to be out of Bengals training camp action as he recovers from surgery to remove his appendix, and his father says he might be out a bit longer.

Jim Burrow told Dave Lapham on the "In the Trenches" podcast that the Bengals quarterback is "getting better every day, but noted that he would hopefully be back out on the field "in a few weeks."

"There's always a danger and complications for a surgery like that so Joe's just got, he's got to listen to his doctors and the trainers over at the facility and take it easy," Jim Burrow said. "He's not one to want to kind of take it easy, but he's got to and it'll be best for the long run if he just makes sure he does what he's supposed to."

I had my gallbladder removed a few years back, they tried to get me doped up on painkillers, I told them I didn't want their stupid Oxycotton!

Cincy has a tough schedule, I wonder if they will be just as good as last year or have a hangover?

Man, that is a rough schedule, especially down the stretch.

Definitely a hangover for Cincy, but really just a tougher schedule. They went on a run in the playoffs when really they should have bowed out in the divisional round. I don't think they will even make the playoffs this year.

I see KC, Tampa, Buffalo, and maybe a couple others on that schedule will be good this year, but most of the teams they play they should be ok against with or w/o Burrow for a few early games. Appendix surgery is usually fairly routine these days, he should be back full steam pdq as long as there are no complications.
