Burrow (calf) returned to practice as an observer Wednesday but isn't participating, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Burrow was speaking with teammates at practice for the first time since suffering a calf strain late July and was spotted wearing a black sleeve on his injured right leg. The star quarterback will remain a passive observer of Cincinnati's upcoming joint practices with Green Bay, as Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Burrow's "timeline [for a return] is several weeks from when I said several weeks" as Adam Schefter of ESPN notes. The Bengals will continue to hold out hope for Burrow to make a full recovery in time for their Sept. 10 regular-season opener in Cleveland, but the quarterback snaps will fall to Trevor Siemian, Jake Browning and Reid Sinnett to command the offense during Friday's preseason contest against the Packers.
