Joe Burrow was tagged by a friend in an Instagram post, a photo that shows a group hanging out by a lake. Burrow, on the left sporting a white muscle shirt, appears to have shaved his head:

NFL fans were stunned to learn about Joe Burrow’s haircut. He also drew comparisons to retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who memorably shaved his head and sported a haircut in 2005 after leading the New England Patriots to a Super Bowl 39 championship:

If that’s indeed Joe Burrow with the shaved head, then he’ll surely look unrecognizable to many. After all, it’s not every day that a marquee athlete goes from their signature wavy and model-like hairstyle to a straight buzzcut.
The first overall pick of 2020 is looking to bounce back after a frustrating 2023 season that ended abruptly when he suffered a wrist injury in a Week 11 Thursday night contest against the rival Baltimore Ravens.
Second-stringer Jake Browning played well in Burrow’s absence, and the Bengals finished a respectable 9-8 in an AFC North that sent three teams to the playoffs. Unfortunately, Cincy’s strong finish without Burrow wasn’t enough to lock down a third straight playoff berth.
Joe Burrow & Bengals Open 2024 vs. Patriots
The Bengals have been notoriously slow starters in the Joe Burrow era, losing their first two games in 2022 and three of their first four in 2023 before regaining their championship-caliber form.
Playing in the unforgiving AFC North, the Bengals can’t afford another sluggish start here in 2024. They’ll try to jump out to a strong start on Sept. 8, when the Bengals welcome the rebuilding New England Patriots for the season opener.
After that, the Bengals will travel to Kansas City to face the defending champion Chiefs in a possible postseason preview.

‘Good Morning Football’ is returning to television with the promise of “more content than ever.”
The show has relocated to California ahead of the 2024 NFL season and will return to the air on Monday, July 29, following a lengthy hiatus.
“Good Morning Football is officially set to return with more content than ever, only this time on a new coast,” NFL.com reported Monday morning.
“The Emmy-winning morning show will relaunch on Monday, July 29, from its new home at NFL Network’s studios in Inglewood, Calif., and will air from 8-10 a.m. ET Monday through Friday.”
The show will be joined by another program branded ‘GMFB: Overtime,’ which will run for two hours on weekdays, from 10 AM to noon ET. The latter will premier on the same date and will also stream for free on the Roku Channel. It’s expected to branch out into syndication on various local stations by Monday, September 2.
“Not only are we bringing back a show that so many fans have woken up to and loved for years, we are giving it a state-of-the-art new home with even more resources and space for our talent to showcase their signature segments and fun takes on the game of football,” NFL Media vice president of original content and entertainment Angela Ellis said.
