Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow intends to extend his career as long as his physical health allows. After missing significant time due to injuries during two of his first six seasons, Burrow plans to manage his playstyle to mitigate injury risk. This approach includes disposing of the ball earlier when under pressure rather than relying on his ability to extend plays. Burrow turns 30 in December and emphasizes that staying on the field is essential for maintaining team chemistry. The Bengals enter the season aiming to end a three-year playoff drought following consecutive seasons with significant postseason appearances.
