CINCINNATI — Quarterback Joe Burrow said he expects to play in the Cincinnati Bengals’ season opener on Sept. 12.

Burrow, who had surgery on his injured left knee in December, said he’s brought it back to 80-85%.

Wearing a knee brace, he threw on the practice field Tuesday on the first day of organized team activities in which every eligible Bengals player took part.

Burrow has been throwing for weeks as part of his rehab, but got an opportunity Tuesday to throw to teammates, including fifth overall draft pick Ja’Marr Chase, his former teammate at LSU.
