Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow appears to be ready to return from an injury that has sidelined him since Week 2.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that he anticipates Joe Burrow starting at quarterback against the Ravens on Thanksgiving and the team's first injury report of the week sends the same message.

Schultz goes on to suggest that this timeline is part of the reason the Bengals didn’t want to move Trey Hendrickson at the NFL’s trade deadline. Other prior reporting has suggested the Bengals lowered their asking price on the trade block, but other teams didn’t want to pay even that.

Joe Burrow will remain on IR this week as he continues to ramp up his recovery, according to reports.According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Burrow won't be moved to the active roster just yet, Joe Flacco will start for the Bengals Sunday.

The Baltimore Ravens will likely have to face one of the NFL's best quarterbacks returning from injury against Bengals in Week 13.

Joe Burrow racked up 820 passing yards, nine touchdowns and two losses to the Ravens last season, but the Bengals are planning to give him another shot at their AFC North rival on Thanksgiving night.
