Bengals anticipate Joe Burrow playing on Thursday, but not Tee Higgins or Trey Hendrickson

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is expected to return for the Thanksgiving game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Burrow has been sidelined since Week Two due to a toe injury. The Bengals have struggled in his absence, recording a 1-8 record, compounded by defensive challenges. Despite Burrow's anticipated return, the Bengals' playoff prospects remain slim, as even winning their remaining games would likely leave them short of a postseason berth. Additionally, Cincinnati faces further challenges with wide receiver Tee Higgins out due to a concussion and defensive end Trey Hendrickson sidelined with a hip injury for the upcoming game.
