Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is undergoing surgery to remove his appendix, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Burrow is slated to miss some practice time due to the procedure, Rapoport added.
The star quarterback led the Bengals to their first Super Bowl appearance in 33 years last season. He threw for 34 touchdowns to 14 interceptions while completing 70.4% of his passes for 4,611 yards.
Drafted first overall in 2020, Burrow is entering the third year of his rookie contract and will be eligible for an extension in 2023. Team president Mike Brown said Monday that his "whole focus" will be on keeping Burrow long term.
