Joe Burrow Gives Funny Quote on Thanksgiving NFL Memories Ahead of Injury Return

The past iterations of the Detroit Lions caught a stray on Tuesday while Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was discussing some of his favorite Thanksgiving memories.

Burrow will have the chance to make some Thanksgiving memories for the next generation when he makes his return to the field from the toe injury that has sidelined him since Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. He essentially announced himself that he would play:

There is some question whether it's wise for Burrow to return during a lost season, with the Bengals just 3-8. But he had his own thoughts on the matter.

"I understand why people feel that way. But you look at it from my perspective—I am a football player. If I get hurt, I'm going to go through the rehab process, and then I'm going to let everyone know when I feel like I can play," he told reporters. "I don't really know what else to say about that. I'm not going to ever go to someone and say, 'Yeah, I'm healthy, but I don't think I should go out there and play.' That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I am not going to live my life and play this game scared of something happening."

The Bengals and Burrow will be hoping for 300-400 yards with Ja'Marr chase, and also a win.
