Joe Burrow will reportedly miss time as he's scheduled to have his appendix taken out within the next couple of days.

Burrow is set to undergo surgery and will likely miss some time from training camp recovering, according to NFL.com.

The first overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft had his rookie campaign cut short after suffering a torn ACL but lived up to the hype in his sophomore campaign.

In four playoff games, he threw five touchdowns and two interceptions, going for 1,105 yards through the air.
