Joe Burrow is listed at QB on the Cincinnati Bengals roster checked September 20, 2026. The official source lists the roster status as Active roster (ACT).
Reading this profile
The details below are dated roster facts. Roster status, practice participation, and game-day availability are different; this profile does not turn one into another.
Career background expanded October 2, 2026.
From Ohio State to LSU and the No. 1 pick
Joe Burrow began his college career at Ohio State, graduated in three years and transferred to LSU for his final two seasons of eligibility. His 2019 season ended with a Heisman Trophy and an unbeaten, 15–0 national championship campaign. He threw for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns that season. The Cincinnati Bengals then selected him first overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.
When did Burrow lead Cincinnati to the Super Bowl?
Burrow started 16 regular-season games and all four postseason games during Cincinnati’s 2021 season, which ended with the AFC championship and a place in Super Bowl LVI. The Bengals returned to the AFC Championship Game in the 2022 season. Those are season labels: a postseason game played early in the following calendar year still belongs to the preceding NFL season.
The 2024 passing benchmark
In the 2024 regular season, Burrow led the NFL with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdown passes. He completed 460 of 652 attempts. Those four totals also set Cincinnati single-season records at the time, giving readers a concrete benchmark for his production rather than an undated claim that every figure remains a record.
College totals, NFL regular-season totals and playoff statistics describe different competition samples. Burrow’s LSU championship year should therefore be kept separate from his Bengals passing lines. The dated tables below and the NFL player statistics hub make those comparisons easier without conflating college achievement, professional volume and postseason results.

Regular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.

Joe Burrow says people misunderstand the catch rule and that two calls yesterday were right, prefers 18 games with two byes, says let the guys taunt, and tags Ted Karras for WPMOY.
He says the amount of people who do not understand what a catch is in the rule book flabbergasts him, and that two plays yesterday were not difficult and the officials got both right.
Both receivers were questionable after injuries in the loss to Jacksonville, with Chase in the concussion protocol, but are expected to face the winless Dolphins.
Ravens linebacker Trenton Simpson, Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and Broncos guard Ben Powers drew the largest fines, and five players were docked for hip-drop tackles.
Cleveland's quarterback and running back lost nearly $30,000 combined for a celebration against Pittsburgh, while TreVeyon Henderson and Jarrian Jones were also docked for Week 4 plays.
