Joe Burrow will deal with “on and off inflammation” for “quite some time,” says orthopedic surgeon

Joe Burrow is coming off a somewhat concerning procedure for his right (throwing) wrist.

And we finally have an expert giving us a realistic idea of what to expect.

Orthopedic surgeon Jeffrey Kutsikovich told A to Z Sports’s John Sheeran that Burrow will have to be careful with his surgically repaired wrist, saying:

“He’s going to definitely need to listen to his body a little bit.. Part of it is dealing with on-and-off inflammation after this surgery for quite some time. I would probably expect him to have on-and-off problems from a soreness standpoint for about a year.
