Joey B gave an update on his status in an interview with Colin Cowherd on FS1 on Thursday … admitting he’s making strides in recovery.
“Rehab has gone really well,” 24-year-old Burrow said. “I’m past the worst part. I’m starting to feel like a normal human again. I can walk around, put my clothes on, do what I need to do.”
But, it wasn’t always smooth sailing for the Heisman winner … he admits, “The first week and a half, 2 weeks was pretty miserable. You need help doing everything but I’m getting more independent and it’s gonna be nice to get some alone time.”
Of course, Burrow was putting together a solid rookie season before the injury … racking up 2,688 yards, 13 TDs and just 5 interceptions.
While Burrow’s return date is still TBD, it’s clear the young signal-caller isn’t expecting to miss any games in 2021.
“I think I’ll be ready,” he said. “I think I’ll be just fine.”
