Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow missed more than half of the 2025 season due to a Grade 3 turf toe injury.

Now, the 29-year-old star signal caller is preparing for a bounce-back season with the Bengals in 2026.

During a recent interview with NFL Network, Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase said he's seeing a different attitude from Burrow as they prepare for their upcoming campaign at training camp.

"I like it when he's pissed off," Chase said. "I'm not gonna lie, I like it when he's like that. I like the fire that he has. He don't always bring it out. He maybe did it once or twice since camp started, but I like it. I love the fire when he has it. His demeanor is just more aggressive. His face is more aggressive, the way he talks is more aggressive, and he got like a little mean mug on his face."

Through eight game appearances last year, Burrow completed 66.8% of his pass attempts for 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions.

On Tuesday, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow, Chase and other Cincinnati starters will play some time in Thursday's preseason opener against the Detroit Lions.
