Joe Burrow expects a more mobile version of himself this season.

The Bengals quarterback said Wednesday he is excited to bring back his scrambling and movement ability — the part of his game that a toe surgery recovery muted a year ago. Burrow played much of last season while still working back from the procedure, which kept him from moving around the pocket the way he has for most of his career. A healthy Burrow behind center changes what defenses can load up against Cincinnati's passing game, adding a layer the Bengals' offense lacked at times in 2025. The comment lands as the team finalizes its plan for the opener, with Burrow sounding like a player who believes the limitations are finally behind him.
