CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow says he’s trying to gain back the weight and strength he lost after having surgery to remove his ruptured appendix three weeks ago. The goal is for the QB to be mobile and sharp by the time Cincinnati opens the regular season on Sept. 11 against AFC North rival Pittsburgh.

Coach Zac Taylor said the remaining team practices will be designed to get Burrow ready to go for Week 1.
