Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will have surgery to remove his appendix just as training camp gets underway.
Burrow actually reported earlier than Tuesday’s veteran report day at Paul Brown Stadium, instead showing up with the rookies and other quarterbacks (and the rehabbing Tee Higgins) to get to work.
Backup Brandon Allen will work as the No. 1 quarterback in early sessions starting Wednesday until Burrow’s back and cleared to play.
