Joe Burrow has focused on diet and weightlifting during the offseason in an attempt to bulk up and gain strength.Joe Burrow, the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, had to miss several months of action due to a wrist injury that ruined his 2023 season.

However, he’s also been growing stronger and bigger, which is another very substantial development.Burrow revealed that he has spent the past several months focusing on weight training and nutrition. As a result, he is “definitely bigger” this offseason.“I’m

eating more, I’m more dialed as far as nutrition and food schedule and eating when I need to, so that’s been a big area of emphasis for me, and I’ve seen the results,” Burrow said, via Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com.“We’re bigger. Definitely bigger. We’ll see where I’m at at the end of the offseason. I feel good about where my body is right now. I’m going to continue to get stronger and bigger throughout the offseason and just play it by ear, depending on how I feel,” the former No. 1 pick continued.

“Like I said, I’m in a good spot right now. I’m really strong, bigger than I was. We’re going to continue to eat right, lift, and go through my routine and see where I’m at.”

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is throwing again, as evidenced by a video the team shared on social media six months after he suffered a wrist injury that forced him to miss most of the 2023 season.


In 2023, Burrow missed the season’s last seven games, so the Bengals had to rely on backup quarterback Jake Browning to get them to stay in the playoff conversation before the wheels fell off. Burrow had wrist surgery late in November of last year.

Over the course of 10 games, Burrow concluded the 2023 season with 15 touchdowns, six interceptions, and a 66.8 completion percentage.

Burrow is officially returning to football activities ahead of the commencement of team-organized team activities on May 28. All indications point to the Pro Bowl quarterback maintaining a positive trajectory for the start of the 2024 campaign.

Joe Burrow Injury Report Gets Brutally Exposed In The Community Notes On ‘X’

Joe Burrow (Photo by Jeff Dean/Getty Images)Joe Burrow was back making passes this week, but a worrying report surfaced online claiming the quarterback’s wrist will never be the same and that the surgery he underwent was done to ensure a bone grows back correctly.The report came from John Frascella, whose account appears to be more of an aggregate hub than anything else.

“Joe’s surgery in LA was not to fix his injury, but to make sure the bone grows correctly,” his report stated. “Joe will always be at risk of injury because his bone has to grow back and that could take two years. His playing will all be off of risk.”

According to OutKick.com, the community notes were brutal.

“This person is lying for clicks and engagement,” it read.


“Joe Burrow did not break a bone. He tore a ligament in his wrist. There is no bone that needs to ‘grow,’” it added.

A third note read: “Joe’s surgery was done by world-renowned hand surgeon, Dr. Tom Graham, in Pennsylvania, not L.A.”

Joe Burrow Looked Good Throwing Passes On Monday

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback returned to practice this week and threw some passes, much to the delight of fans. His wrist didn’t seem to be an issue either.

Burrow, who’s since claimed he has been feeling good, looks to be on track to be able to take part in training camp and preseason this time around.

“I’ve felt good the last two days,” the QB said in a press conference on Tuesday. “I don’t ever really know how it’s going to feel until I wake up the next morning, but I’ve been encouraged by the last couple of days, for sure.”

Of course, he’s not quite out of the woods yet, but the signs are certainly encouraging.
