 Joe Burrow, quarterback for the Bengals of Cincinnati, will miss some time during training camp because he had to have his appendix removed.




Coach Zac Taylor of the Cincinnati Bengals said on Wednesday that the team's star quarterback had appendix surgery on Tuesday. According to Taylor, his surgery went well and he will be released from the hospital on Wednesday.

Taylor has not given a definite date for his return to training camp.

Athletes frequently have appendectomies, with minimal downtime as a result. John Wolford, the backup quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, underwent the procedure in August of last year, causing him to miss the first two weeks of the season.

Also in 2006, former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had the operation.

Burrow is about to begin his third season with the Bengals, and he has already dealt with a number of health problems, the worst of which was the knee injury that ended his first season. He had a dislocated finger and a contusion on his throat from the previous season. Burrow was not sidelined by any of those injuries.

As the Bengals begin their first week of training camp, the news of Burrow's surgery comes as a blow.

On Wednesday, training camp started for the Bengals. Public practices begin on July 30 and end on August 19.

Burrow's absence from camp is currently undetermined in length of time.

Our conversation with a general surgeon at Christ Hospital confirmed our suspicions; appendectomies are routinely performed there. It's contagious, and there's no way to stop it.

A few more blows won't give you appendicitis, he added.

In any case, everyone is wondering how long it will take to get back to normal.

"If you're scheduled for surgery in a few days to a couple of weeks and you feel fine now, by all means go ahead with the procedure. That said, I think that if you want to perform at peak efficiency, you need more like four to six weeks "Christ Hospital's general surgeon, Dr. John Schilling, made this statement.

He also said it's better to address the problem now than during the season.
