Welcome to the Ringer NFL show.

I'm your host, Shield Capadia.

We unfortunately got our first big quarterback injury of the season in week two.

Joe Burrow goes down with a toe injury, having surgery out for at least three months.

What does this mean for the Bengal season and for Burroughs future in the state of the AFC?

We're going to talk about it all with Ben Baby, who does a terrific job covering the Bengals season and for Burroughs future in the state of the AFC, we're going to talk about it all

with Ben Baby, who does a terrific job covering the Bengals for ESPN. Ben, how much more do you know

about turf toe now than you did like 24 hours ago? Are you a legit expert now? I'd like to think so.

I think our Stefani Abel at ESPN helps us out a good amount with any time

understanding these injuries. Understanding why it's called turf toe, it's always strange. It's funny,

the NFLPA had a couple of guys in there, and there's some conversations over the turf situation,

and, you know, the PA has, has, you know, shifted. Now, the Bengals did change their turf recently,

so they got rid of the turf that everybody hated. It's still turf. But, you know, shifted. Now, the Bengals did change their turf recently, so they got rid of the

turf that everybody hated. It's still turf. But, you know, we were having a conversation and, you know, I was wondering, does this happen if it's grass? And, you know, I think the PA, obviously, has been shifting. I know we're getting real deep, real early now into turf turf. Yeah, that's interesting. But I was just like, you know, I said on the side, I said, well, they don't call it grass toe.

So, you know, we'll see how that changes.

But yes, now. that's interesting but i was just like you know i i said on the side i said well they don't call it grass toe so you know uh we'll see how that changes but yes now i'm getting more familiar with the injury over the years okay yes yeah i didn't even know that i didn't even think turf versus grass there so you're already informing me so yeah we're going to talk about it all are the bengles to blame with their roster building is Is Joe Burrow injury prone? Can they keep this

thing afloat with Jake Browning? We'll get to all those questions. We'll take a quick break.
