        ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes there’s a “real possibility” that Bengals QB Joe Burrow plays in Week 12. The comment comes from Thursday's episode of The Adam Schefter Podcast. Recall that Burrow was listed as a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

        Schefter makes it clear that he’s making an educated guess, noting how the team wants to evaluate Burrow after practice on Thursday and Friday. But as of now, the ace insider expects Burrow to return from his turf toe injury vs. New England.

        We’ll see how the next couple of days unfold. If it's Burrow under center, he'll carry a QB1 ceiling against the Patriots, even without Ja'Marr Chase. A pass-funnel Pats defense has allowed multiple scores to QBs in four straight.
