2020-COVID year..no OTAs, limited training camp, weird practices
2021-coming off of a quick knee rehab...because of the knee totally revamped his throwing motion, still limited in camp
2022-NORMAL...oops ruptured appendix on day 2 which caused him to miss the majority of training camp. And then have to regain the lost weight and muscle mass loss due to the illness
2023-finally a normal off season-serious strained calf on day 1 of TC. Still not fully healed when the season started
2024-wrist recovery...very limited throwing during off season; Ja'Marr hold in, Tee injuries
That was painful to read.
And Burrow ends up being Comeback Player of the Year two times. In just 5 seasons of playing.

Burrow deserves some good fortune. Knock on wood that it be this year. Certainly, enough karma has been paid -- by Burrow and by Bengals fans.
