The Bengals will have to wait a little longer for Joe Burrow\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

They are not activating him off injured reserve ahead of Saturday\u2019s 4 p.m. deadline, according to ESPN, meaning he will be unable to play Sunday in Week 12 against the Patriots.<\/p>\n

The earliest he can return is next Thursday\u2019s game against the Ravens. <\/p>\n

Burrow has been out since Week 2 after undergoing surgery for turf toe on his left foot. <\/p>\n

He was a full participant<\/a> in practice Wednesday and Thursday and a limited participant Friday.<\/p>\n

He was officially listed as questionable. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think Joe has done everything he can to put himself in a position to get back,\u201d coach Zac Taylor said Friday. \u201cWe are just going to keep taking our time on this one.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Joe Flacco is set to start his sixth straight game at quarterback for the Bengals, having arrived via trade lat month. <\/p>\n

The Bengals are 1-4 in the five games Flacco started, and 3-7 overall.<\/p>\n

Taylor said that the Bengals playing two games in five days factored into the ultimate decision, and that he also wants to protect Burrow from himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI view it as very important,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cI have to take into account what I think is best for him. He\u2019s coming back off an injury. He\u2019s been out for a long time. I know he\u2019s of the right mindset and has done everything physically, and then I have to take into account what\u2019s the best thing for him, what\u2019s the best thing for our team and make the soundest decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole point is you\u2019re putting him in there when you feel like he\u2019s fully ready to go and can handle the full game load,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cBecause you never know what situation is gonna come up in a game or put you in a situation where your quarterback\u2019s got to be able to operate.
