Joe Burrow likely to miss Madden cover again this year
Summary

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is speculated to miss out on the Madden cover for another year, as leaks suggest Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will be featured. The cover reveal is scheduled for Thursday in Chicago. Burrow, despite being a popular candidate, faces stiff competition as there has been no confirmation for his selection or that of his teammate Ja'Marr Chase. Fan speculation favors both players to remain in the conversation for future covers, but 2026 seems less promising.
