Dr. Neal ElAttrache says Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow is 'all systems go' for Week 1, per report
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is "all systems go" for the team's Week 1 meeting with the Minnesota Vikings - per the doctor who operated on Burrow's left knee last December - according to a report Tuesday from ESPN's Adam Schefter.
More from Schefter on the assessment from Dr. Neal ElAttrache of Kerlan-Jobe in Los Angeles:
"He's on track for full go for start of the season," ElAttrache, who operated on Burrow in December, wrote in a text. "He's doing all the work. He's worked his tail off and been an amazingly mature participant in his recovery. He's focused and great to work with."

In March, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow's rehab was "on pace," and the team was hopeful that Burrow would be available for the start of the regular season.
Burrow joked in March in response to former Bengals receiver Chad Johnson's offer to help with a meal-prep plan that he "can't eat McDonald's every day."
