Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wants to resume football activities in May, when his organization will hold preseason sessions in the spring.
That's what he told the ESPN network this weekend.

The 2023 season ended for the 27-year-old in his tenth game when he injured his right wrist in a duel against the Baltimore Ravens. The pivot also missed most of training camp due to a right calf injury.
“I think the doctors will clear me for contact and participation in team activities in mid-May,” Burrow said.
“I can lift weights normally at the moment,” he added. It's a really good thing. In the next few months I’ll be able to basically do what I’ve done the last two offseasons.”
The player, who was selected with the first pick of the 2020 draft, completed 66.8% of the passes he attempted for 2,309 yards and 15 touchdowns last year. The Bengals finished last in the North Division of the American NFL Association despite a winning record of 9-8.
