Packers expert breaks down what should really concern the Bengals with Micah Parsons on the opposing side
When the 2025 NFL schedule was released back in the spring, the Cincinnati Bengals were not expecting to face Micah Parsons this year. They also weren't expecting to have Joe Flacco be their starting quarterback in the matchup.
With Burrow set to miss at least three months due to his toe injury, the Bengals Super Bowl odds went from 20-to-1 to 80-to-1 in a span of 24 hours. Burrow is scheduled to undergo surgery on Sept. 19 and based on his projected three-month recovery timeline, that means he wouldn't be back on the field until Week 17 at the absolute earliest.
A trade or free-agent signing would have to happen by Wednesday to have any possible impact in Week 6 vs. the Packers.
