Joe Burrow Using Rigid Carbon-Fiber Cleat While Leading Bengals’ Late-Season Push

Last week, Burrow returned from turf-toe surgery wearing a cleat with a carbon-fiber plate and custom orthotic. He revealed, “The shoe can’t bend… my toe can’t go backward right now.” He noted the setup “keeps it firm,” providing stability despite reduced comfort. After ending a four-game skid, Cincinnati has to value the QB's presence (even in a stiff shoe) as they try to stay alive in the playoff race.
